Disabled people represent around 10 % of the population. Their attention covers prevention, life quality improvement, and social integration. One of the most frequent disabilities is the physic-motor one and muscular dystrophies are their cause. To make this work we carried out an up-dated bibliographic review on Duchenne muscular dystrophy after being identified a case in a family living in the popular council Boca de Camarioca, municipality of Varadero. We proposed a methodology for the Preconception Genetic Management of this disease, taking into account that the patient has two sisters in reproductive age. As a base we took the main principles of this process, showing the dynamic interrelation between its elements and elaborated an informative-educative document for a better comprehension of the disease to be discussed by the members of the family.
