About this trial
The Duchenne Registry is an online, patient-report registry for individuals with Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy and carrier females. The purpose of the Registry is to connect Duchenne and Becker patients with actively recruiting clinical trials and research studies, and to educate patients and families about Duchenne and Becker care and research. At the same time, The Duchenne Registry is a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers in academia and industry, allowing access to de-identified datasets provided by patients and their families-information that is vital to advances in the care and treatment of Duchenne. The Duchenne Registry is a member of the TREAT-NMD Neuromuscular Network.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Genetic variant
Genetic variant data is collected by patient report and verified by curation/review of genetic test report when provided. Genetic test report is requested for each registrant and is required for participation in global DMD (TREAT-NMD) registry.
Secondary outcomes
Ambulation status
Ambulation status is assessed from several questions about mobility, ability to sit and stand, use of assistive devices, and age at full time wheelchair use.
Other outcomes
Corticosteroid use
Data collected includes whether or not corticosteroids are used, and if so, name of corticosteroid, age started/stopped, dose and dosing regimen.
Cardiovascular status
Multiple questions regarding cardiovascular symptoms, age at diagnosis of cardiomyopathy, use of cardiac medications, date of most recent echocardiogram and/or cardiac MRI, and the LVEF and/or LVSF value.
Respiratory status
Assessed from questions about use of breathing devices, age at which breathing devices were started, date of most recent pulmonary function test (spirometry), and the FVC value (% predicted).
