#247 Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

In lieu of this episode, I want to provide you with other DNA Today episodes about DMD.    In Episode #156 I interview Rich Horgan. He opens up about his brother’s experience living with DMD and how it inspired him to start Cure Rare Diseases, which is an organization that focuses on developing personalized treatments for rare diseases.    In Episode #202 I interview two experts about DMD. Genetic counselor Ann Martin who serves as the VP of Community Research and Genetic Services at Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy. Our other guest is world-renowned geneticist Dr. Madhuri Hegde from Revvity (formerly PerkinElmer Genomics). In this episode we focus on the genetics of DMD and the treatments.    Both episodes are linked for you in the show notes. Enjoy!
