| Core Tip |
This report describes two unprecedented cases of Duchenne muscular dystrophy coexisting with Down syndrome (DS) and Turner syndrome (TS), highlighting the diagnostic challenges at the intersection of chromosomal and monogenic disease. In patient with DS, hypotonia and developmental delay may mask progressive weakness; in females, a heterozygous variant in the dystrophin gene should prompt evaluation for mosaic TS. Next-generation sequencing, guided by clinical suspicion, enabled recognition of these dual genetic diagnoses. These findings broaden the phenotypic spectrum of Duchenne muscular dystrophy and underscore the need for individualized multidisciplinary care. |
