Duchene Muscular Dystrophy

The genetic disorder that I have researched was Duchene Muscular Dystrophy. Duchene Muscular Dystrophy is a disease that have many symptoms. Such as, you may go through an awkward manner of walking, sleeping, or running. I would really hate to have a disease like this one because it is very fatal and disheartening to have.  There is no cure for this disease, but the doctors have a special therapy for it. Also, it was discovered by Guillaume Benjamin Amand Duchene, in 1861. You may witness this disease from late teens to mid 30's, but some people have it for a longer period of time. The disease affects one in 3,500 males in the world. Most of the time, males get Duchene Muscular Dystrophy and females can be the faithful carriers. Scientists believe that this disease is caused by a mutation in the (gene DMD), located in humans on the X-chromosom. To find a new treatment for Duchene Muscular Dystrophy, all you have to do is to check if you have it or anyone in your family had it but the process of finding a cure is annoying because you have to go through tests and other procedures. If I had a chance to help find a cure for this disease, I would be down to the lab so fast before you could even say "go." And finally, if you want to make a different on society, you should see if you can help out or test some cures for this disease.
