Myotonic dystrophy type 1 - updates on mechanisms of multisystemic manifestations, genetically targeted therapeutics, and preparing for a postapproval world.

This review highlights genetically targeted therapeutics showing impact for muscle manifestations of DM1, ongoing efforts now shifting to expand to other target tissues and the younger population, and the understanding of societal burden and population genetics of DM1.

A Registry-Based Perspective of Interventional Clinical Trials for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Background and objective Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe, progressive, X-linked genetic disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the dystrophin gene, leading to progressive muscle weakness, loss of ambulation, and premature mortality. Clinical trials are essential for advancing evidence-based management...
