The patient underwent an extensive clinical, biochemistry, molecular genetics, electrophysiological, and psychological examinations. We discuss a role of dystrophin expression and deficiency in both muscle and brain tissues in the pathophysiology of these disorders. An association between Duchenne muscular dystrophy and autism spectrum disorders has already been described, but this unusual phenotype, including DMD, epilepsy, and autism, has not been reported as yet. We postulate that this “triple trouble” is not a coincidence, but more likely a result of the same underlying process–the dystrophin deficiency. ER -
