What is the Prognosis for Neonates Diagnosed with Dystrophin Gene Mutations?
The prognosis varies depending on the type and severity of the mutation. Individuals with DMD typically face a more severe progression, with loss of ambulation occurring in early adolescence and potential life-threatening complications in early adulthood. Those with BMD may have a milder disease course and a longer lifespan, although they still face significant health challenges.
