We also look forward to sharing in-depth interviews with key opinion leaders, and providing families with opportunities to schedule one-on-one appointments with experts, including PPMD’s genetic counselors as well as other educational and behavioral health experts. These appointments can be used to discuss genetic test reports and inform you of the clinical trials, research studies, and approved therapies that may benefit you or your child.

The community is excited to hear these updates for the first time at the largest annual global gathering of Duchenne and Becker families.

Over 25 years ago, PPMD began convening the Duchenne community annually, to share knowledge, ensure the patient voice was at the center of the conversation, and galvanize the Duchenne space.

Each year, the community gathers to hear updates from trial sponsors, clinical care providers, researchers, and each other. Now in its 27th year (and second virtual year), PPMD expects close to 2,000 attendees for four days packed full of informative and interactive sessions.
