Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a rare progressive disorder. People with DMD are missing muscle-protecting protein. This is due to a fault in the gene producing dystrophin. Muscles to become weaker over time until it affects the whole body. It is caused by a mutation on the X-chromosome, that is why mainly males are affected.

Ipokrate believes that the theme for World Duchenne Awareness Day 2026 is “Family: the Heart of Care,” emphasizing the role of family members for people living with Duchenne and Becker.
