About

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.

Full description

The Duchenne Registry (previously DuchenneConnect) was created in 2007 by Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD), with assistance from the NIH, the CDC, and Emory Genetics. In early 2011, PPMD alone began financing the registry's operation and maintenance, and is the sole guardian of The Duchenne Registry and its material.

Questions may be addressed to the Duchenne Registry Coordinators at telephone [phone] or [e-mail].
