Duchenne muskeldystrofi

Sist revidert:
Sist revidert av:
Definisjon:
Recessiv X-bundet sykdom (rammer gutter) hvor genfeil fører til nær komplett mangel på dystrofin, som er nødvendig for normal utvikling av muskulatur. Sykdommen fører til progredierende tap av muskelceller
Forekomst:
Forekommer hos ca. 2 per 10.000 gutter
Symptomer:
Symptomene er langsommere motorisk utvikling enn normalt. Etter hvert blir gangen vaggende på grunn av tiltakende muskelsvakhet, de fleste blir avhengig av rullestol fra ca. 12 års alder
Funn:
Kliniske funn er svekket kraft/atrofi av proksimale muskelgrupper, tidligst synlig i lårmuskulatur
Diagnostikk:
Tilleggsundersøkelser er CK (kraftig forhøyet), EMG, muskelbiopsi. Bekrefteds ved genetisk testing
Behandling:
Det finnes ingen kausal behandling. Multidisiplinær behandling er nødvendig. Kortikosteroider kan bremse sykdomsutviklingen, og nye medikamenter er under utvikling.
