The pooled global DMD prevalence is 7.1 cases (95% CI: 5.0–10.1) per 100 000 males and 2.8 cases (95% CI: 1.6–4.6) per 100 000 in the general population, while the pooled global DMD birth prevalence was 19.8 (95% CI:16.6–23.6) per 100 000 live male births [2]. Here, DMD is linked to Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
