Assessment of Extracellular Volume Fraction in Becker Muscular Dystrophy by Using MR Fingerprinting.

Radiology, 2023
Background Quantitative MRI is increasingly proposed in clinical trials related to dystrophinopathies, including Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). Purpose To establish the sensitivity of extracellular volume fraction (ECV) quantification using an MR ...

Becker Muscular Dystrophy in a Patient With Hodgkin's Disease

Journal of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, 2004
Genetic disease often predisposes to neoplastic processes because of either alterations in both oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes or imbalances in the cell cycle. The authors present the case of a 15-year-old boy with Hodgkin's disease associated with Becker muscular dystrophy. Becker muscular dystrophy is an X-linked neuromuscular disease due to in-

Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy Presenting as Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 2011
JPGN Volume 53, N N onalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) encompasses a wide spectrum of conditions ranging from simple steatosis to steatohepatitis and liver cirrhosis (1). It is the most common liver disorder in the pediatric age group, paralleling the epidemic of obesity (2,3).

Studying the role of dystrophin-associated proteins in influencing Becker muscular dystrophy disease severity

Neuromuscular Disorders, 2015
Becker muscular dystrophy is characterized by a variable disease course. Many factors have been implicated to contribute to this diversity, among which the expression of several components of the dystrophin associated glycoprotein complex. Together with dystrophin, most of these proteins anchor the muscle fiber cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix,

Early myocardial disease and cramping myalgia in Becker‐type muscular dystrophy

Neurology, 1979
We present a clinical and morphological study concerning a kindred with slowly progressive X-linked muscular dystrophy (Becker type). Five males were affected; one died of heart failure at age 16. Severe and early cardiac disorder is unusual in this type of muscular dystrophy, and death at such an early age had not been reported previously.

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 ...
