Abstract:

A new concept of pathogenesis Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) based on authors experience and discussion of results of other studies. Author estimate DMD as a cerebro-muscular pathology depend on absent dystrophin (D) in skeletal muscles, heart, brain. Author suppose that all family D work as one functional system, which play the important role in organization of walking. Destroy of this system is cause of the disease.
