Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, as genome-wide studies have reported it: 614 positions from 1 study. Every figure comes from the studies themselves, gathered by code from the GWAS Catalog and updated as the records grow.
Genome-wide studies have so far placed 614 positions on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, from 1 study; the GWAS Catalog files the condition as "Duchenne muscular dystrophy". MyGeneLog's code assembles this page from those records and rebuilds it when a new position is reported — nothing here was written by hand, and nothing here goes beyond what the records say.
A study. From it, 614 positions on this page: rs1010666282 (DMD), rs104894787 (DMD), rs104894788 (DMD), rs104894789 (DMD), rs104894790 (DMD), rs104894797 (DMD), rs1055371114 (DMD), rs1057517960 (DMD), and 606 more.
The catalogue maps the 614 positions to 2 genes: DMD, UTRN. That mapping says where a position sits, in a gene or beside one — not what it does. For what each study measured, follow its citation above.
It is a record of what genome-wide studies have reported about Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, kept current by code. It is not a description of the condition, an estimate of how common it is, or guidance of any kind — a page that took those from association records would be inventing them. Each variant page linked here carries that study's own record for the position in fixed sentences, and ClinVar's record where one exists.
A genotype does not diagnose Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy; a clinician does. No guideline uses the 614 variants on this page to predict it, screen for it or confirm it.
This page was assembled by code from association records. It holds no clinical guidance, because its sources hold none: a genome-wide study reports which positions differ between people with a condition and people without, at the population level, and that is all this page repeats. A question about a symptom, a test or a treatment belongs with a clinician.

In the GWAS Catalog, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is filed as "Duchenne muscular dystrophy". Rather than define it, this page lists the genome-wide findings: 614 positions from 1 study, each with its study's sample and citation.
Genome-wide studies have reported 614 associated positions. Each common variant has a small effect, and an association in a population is not a cause in any one person.
The positions lie in or near 2 genes: DMD, UTRN. A mapped gene is the catalogue's location for a position, not a mechanism.
No. Each variant shifts the odds only slightly, and only on average across many people. No guideline predicts Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy from a genotype; a clinician diagnoses it.
