DMD or otherwise known as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, is a disorder in the human body that primarily affects young males. The way this disorder seems to have been caused happens to be a defective gene passed down from the mother. DMD affects the arms, legs, neck, and pectoralis muscles. DMD causes an atrophy of the muscles in these areas which can lead to paralysis. Due to the possible complications such as cardiomyopathy and osteoporosis, death is always an outcome of this disorder, leading the average life expectancy to be 22 years.
