People with Duchenne muscular dystrophy rarely live past their early 20s. The disease is characterized by a progressive weakening of the muscles and loss of coordination. Researchers have traced the disorder to the absence of a key muscle protein called dystrophin and have tracked the gene for this protein to a specific locus on the X chromosome.

What is the life expectancy of the individual affected? Disease Statistics. How many people suffer from the disease? What is the number of people born with the condition per . X. births? Does the disease affect a specific population of people (or region) more so than another? Is there a reason that the population is affected more than another?
