Abstract
Duchenne muscular dystrophy or Psendo Hypertroplnic Muscular Dystrophy is heterogenous group of inherited disorder C graddal degeneration of muscle fibres. It is Inheritance sex linked disease and boys are sufferer while girls are carrier. Patient dies in 2nd /3rd decade of life due to pulmoray infection and cardionyopahy.
Keywords: X linked disease, mutation, Grower’s Sing, Baker Muscular dystrophy, serum creatine kinase, EMG, muscle Biopsy.
