Brothers with Becker muscular dystrophy, born a year apart, show marked difference in atrophy of the glutes maximus and vastus femoris muscles at adulthood

2022-12-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is characterized by a progressive muscular atrophy caused by a truncated dystrophin produced by the mutant DMD gene. The onset and progression patterns of muscle atrophy in BMD are diverse, and previous reports attribute this to differences in the structure of the dystrophin produced. Therefore, it is expected that patients with BMD in the same family express t...
