Pee and blood may replace painful muscle biopsies for muscular dystrophy
NCT ID NCT05020002
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find less invasive ways to measure disease activity in myotonic dystrophy by looking for RNA markers in blood and urine instead of taking muscle biopsies. Researchers will compare samples from 215 people with and without the condition to see if these markers can reliably track disease severity. The goal is to develop a simple test that could make monitoring the disease easier and more comfortable for patients.
