Measuring Disease Severity in Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy

Journal of Methods and Measurement in the Social Sciences, 2010
Medical investigations use a wide variety of outcome indicators that are often not comparable. It can be challenging to integrate results across multiple studies that do not share a common metric.

Development of a Clinicopathological Prognostic Model and Risk Classification to Predict Disease-Free Survival in Patients with Gastric Adenocarcinoma Following Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Curative Gastrectomy [PDF]

Current Oncology
Background: Prognostic assessment after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and curative gastrectomy remains challenging in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma because postoperative outcomes are influenced by both pretreatment disease burden and pathological ...

Genotype–Phenotype Correlations in Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy Patients from the Canadian Neuromuscular Disease Registry [PDF]

Journal of Personalized Medicine, 2020
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal neuromuscular disorder generally caused by out-of-frame mutations in the DMD gene. In contrast, in-frame mutations usually give rise to the milder Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). However, this reading frame rule does not always hold true. Therefore, an understanding of the relationships between genotype and

Errata: Measuring Disease Severity in Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy

Journal of Methods and Measurement in the Social Sciences, 2011
Reports an error in Davis et al. (2010).  The functional motor scale used in Davis et al. (2010) was the EK (Egen Klassifikation) Scale, rather than the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale (Steffensen et al., 2002; Cedarbaum Stambler ...

The frequency of Duchenne muscular dystrophy/Becker muscular dystrophy and Pompe disease in children with isolated transaminase elevation: results from the observational VICTORIA study

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2023
IntroductionElevated transaminases and/or creatine phosphokinase can indicate underlying muscle disease. Therefore, this study aims to determine the frequency of Duchenne muscular dystrophy/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) in male children and Pompe ...

Dystrophin and the two related genetic diseases, Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies

Biomolecules & Biomedicine, 2015
Mutations of the dystrophin DMD gene, essentially deletions of one or several exons, are the cause of two devastating and to date incurable diseases, Duchenne (DMD) and Becker (BMD) muscular dystrophies.

Serum titin/creatinine ratio as a biomarker for discriminating disease severity in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies

Frontiers in Neurology
IntroductionDuchenne/Becker muscular dystrophies (DMD/BMD) are inherited muscle diseases, collectively referred to as dystrophinopathy, which are characterized by progressive degeneration or loss. Although serum creatine kinase (CK) is a classical biomarker of DMD and BMD, it alone cannot clearly differentiate between severe DMD and milder BMD.

Molecular Diagnosis of Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy in a family with no pathological antecedents of the disease

Medisur, 2018
Foundation: Duchenne and  Becker muscular dystrophies are progressive neuromuscular diseases with a pattern of recessive inherited link to chromosome X and caused by mutations in the gene which codifies for dystrophin.
