Name: Federico City: Foggia State: Italy Country: Year of Birth: 2001 Onset: 6 Diagnosis: 6 1/2 Deletion: 3-10 Frame: In-Frame Cardiac Problems?: N Ambulatory Problems?: N Respiratory Problems?: N Entry Date: July, 2009 Hi I am the father of Fede, excuse my English, the diagnosis was Duchenne dystrophy. Now Fede is 8 1/2 years old. Has no particular problems, take Deflazacort, has big calves, Grower partial and stairs with difficulty. Deletion is in-frame but the doctors 2 years ago they said Duchenne, never done a biopsy and CPK 7000-14000. Deletion 3-10 is a rare, in any database on the internet I found. It has no cognitive problems is cheerful, happy, but now you see the difference between him and his friends the same age. Has never been in a bike and gets up from the earth as when 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 years old. What do you say? Is there someone with a deletion in N-terminal as Fede? Greeting all

Hey Father of Fede It is hard to say whether there is someone in the world with the same deletion. There are a few databases on the internet that track this information. Treatment is usually based on symptoms, rather than genetics, so it may not matter much. How is your son doing in general?
