Summary

This study looks for markers in blood and urine that can show how active and severe Duchenne muscular dystrophy is. The goal is to find a less invasive way to track the disease instead of taking muscle biopsies. Researchers will compare samples from people with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy to healthy controls.
