Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy | Diagnostic Test: AAV8 DetectCDx |
This is an observational screening study to evaluate the prevalence of anti-adeno-associated serotype 8 (AAV8) antibodies in participants with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Information collected in this study may be used to identify potential participants for DMD investigational gene therapy clinical trials.
This study consists of:
- A phone/video interview to provide e-consent and medical history
- A single home health visit to collect blood sample for antibody testing
- A phone/video call for communication of AAV8 antibody test results
