Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy

Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy

There are many registries that have been set-up across the world that specifically collect data from patients with DMD/BMD.

Some of this data comprises of an internationally agreed mandatory dataset which sets out the information that all national registries should collect in order for their data to be directly comparable in the TREAT-NMD Global Registry. The Global DMD Registry collects data from over 30 national registries which relates to over 13,000 patients.

If you are a patient (or parent/guardian of a patient) with DMD and would like to register in a DMD Registry then you should do this via the registry in your country if one is available.
