Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a genetic disorder that involves rapidly worsening muscle weakness. It is a recessive x-linked (passes mother to son) form of muscular dystrophy. It results in muscle degeneration, difficulty walking, breathing and ultimately death. The disorder is formed by a mutation in the dystrophin gene, causing the body to be unable to produce the protein.
