In a long-term study, which begins in the clinic, he attacks the disease from the perspective of the various clinical sciences. In the present volume, the clinical features are correlated according to a set of fundamental principles with histological events, pathophysiological changes and the patient's age.The author chose to concern himself only with the rapidly progressive variant of the X-linked muscular dystrophies (MD), the so-called pseudohypertrophic or Duchenne MD.
