The Centre for Gene Therapy in Neuromuscular Disorders at Aster DM Healthcare, focuses on clinical research and the application of gene therapy for some neuromuscular diseases like Spinal muscular atrophy and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. These disorders affect the muscles, peripheral nerves, or neuromuscular junctions, often leading to significant disability due to progressive weakness. Gene therapy offers a promising avenue for treating or managing these conditions by addressing the root cause of the disease.
