Overview
The hallmark of Duchenne muscular dystrophy is muscle weakness. A positive history of a family member with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and history of consanguinity marriage in their parents is suggestive of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The most common symptoms of muscle weakness specially in the lower limbs, difficulty rising from a sitting position, balance problems, toe walking, grow retardation, clumsiness, frequent falls, multiple fractures, increase the size of the back of the lower leg, curvature of the spine, and breathing problems. Less common symptoms of Duchenne muscular dystrophy include mild cognitive impairment (OCD, anxiety, autism, ADHD) and developmental delay.
