Profiles of neuromuscular diseases. Becker's muscular dystrophy.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation, 1995
Fifteen subjects with Becker's muscular dystrophy (BMD) were studied prospectively over a 10-yr period to provide a profile of impairment and disability. Proximal lower extremity musculature (particularly the hip and knee extensors), ankle dorsiflexors, and neck flexors showed significantly early weakness. Extensor muscle groups were weaker than flexor

An unusual association: celiac disease and Becker muscular dystrophy.

The American journal of gastroenterology, 1996
A history of poor growth in early childhood associated with persistent diarrhea and iron deficiency anemia led to a diagnosis of celiac disease in a 9-yr-old boy hospitalized for acute rhabdomyolysis. Elevated serum creatine kinase levels had been documented over the previous years, and Becker's muscular dystrophy was diagnosed by immunostaining of ...

Cardiac Disease in Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophies: The Dystrophinopathies

2000
The muscular dystrophies are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of skeletal muscle wasting diseases that differ widely in their frequency and pattern of cardiac involvement. Clinically, muscular dystrophies are characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy.

Brief communication: Becker muscular dystrophy: Detection of unusual disease courses by combined approach to dystrophin analysis

Muscle & Nerve, 1992
AbstractThe rapid progress of research on the structure of the dystrophin gene has enormously increased our understanding of the molecular basis of Duchenne (DMD) and Becker (BMD) muscular dystrophy. Apart from “classical” clinical presentations, asymptomatic or only mildly affected individuals with deletions in the dystrophin gene have now been ...

BEYOND CARDIOMYOPATHY: A CASE OF CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE IN BECKER MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY

European Heart Journal Supplements
Abstract Introduction Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD) is a genetic disorder, caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. Cardiac involvement is a common feature in this condition, often manifesting as dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) or arrhythmias.

[Dilated cardiomyopathy and lipid-lowering drug muscle toxicity revealing late-onset Becker's disease].

La Revue de medecine interne, 2006
The Becker's muscular dystrophy is a genetic myopathy due to mutations of the dystrophin gene, located in the Xp21 region, with a clinical expression usually occurring in young adults.We report an atypical case of late onset Becker's muscular dystrophy diagnosed at the age of 57.

[From gene to disease; the dystrophin gene involved in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, 2002
Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD and BMD) are progressive disorders, which almost exclusively affect males. DMD is the more severe type with an onset at 2-3 years of age. Patients become wheelchair-bound before the age of 13 and often die due to cardiac arrest or respiratory insufficiency. BMD, a more varying phenotype which may overlap with
