This case series underscores the critical importance of genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for Duchenne muscular dystrophy in regions with high consanguinity rates like Morocco.
Loukhmas et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (n=1). Corticotherapy (Cortancyl) and Genetic Counseling was evaluated. A case report of a 10-year-old boy with familial Duchenne muscular dystrophy demonstrates progressive motor function decline despite corticosteroid therapy, emphasizing the need for early genetic counseling.
