Abstract
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common myopathy in children, X-linked recessive disease, caused by mutations in the DMD gene (Xp21.2). It is characterized by progressive muscular atrophy and weakness, with consequent musculoskeletal, respiratory and cardiac complications, among others. Considering the high prevalence of this condition (Worldwide prevalence 0.5 per 10,000 men) (1,2) and the importance of multidisciplinary management for the timely diagnosis and proper management of patients, an interdisciplinary consensus of experts is made to propose recommendations for the diagnosis and follow up of Colombian patients with DMD.
