Muscular Dystrophy in a Dog Resembling Human Becker Muscular Dystrophy.

, 2014
A 3-year-old, male Labrador retriever dog was presented with clinical signs of progressive exercise intolerance, bilateral elbow extension, rigidity of the forelimbs, hindlimb flexion and kyphosis. Microscopical examination of muscle tissue showed marked

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.

Improved diagnosis of becker muscular dystrophy by dystrophin testing

, 1989
We assessed the quantity (relative cellular abundance) and quality (approximate molecular weight) of dystrophin in muscle biopsies from 97 patients with a diagnosis of possible Becker muscular dystrophy. Fifty-four (all male) had dystrophin abnormalities

Becker′s Muscular Dystrophy-A Case Report

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 1998
A case of Becker′s Muscular dystrophy (BMD) in a 26-year-old male is reported. Muscle biopsy immunohistochemical staining showed absence of labelling for dystrophin along the sacrolemmal membrane in majority of the fibres.

Acute hepatotoxicity of intravenous amiodarone in a Becker muscular dystrophy patient with decompensated heart failing and ABCB4 gene mutation: as assessed for causality using the updated RUCAM

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Background Cardiac dysfunction, including arrhythmias, may be one of the main clinical manifestations of Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). Amiodarone is widely used to treat arrhythmia.

An investigation into the effects of dystrophin on the lateral mobility of muscle membrane components. [PDF]

, 1999
Dystrophin is the product of the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy gene locus, whose absence results in progressive skeletal muscle breakdown. Despite considerable work on the localisation of dystrophin and its associated complex, its role in muscle function ...

Clinical and molecular characterization of Becker muscular dystrophy

, 2023
reservedBackground: Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an X-linked muscle disease caused by mutations in the DMD gene, encoding the dystrophin protein. The clinical picture of this progressive neuromuscular disease is variable, including myalgias, limb ...

A novel biomarker of fibrofatty replacement in dystrophinopathies identified by integrating transcriptome, magnetic resonance imaging, and pathology data

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Background We aimed to analyse genome‐wide transcriptome differences between Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) patients and identify biomarkers that correlate well with muscle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ...

J Child Neurol [PDF]

In this retrospective cohort study, we characterize the health profile of preterm males with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Major clinical milestones (ambulation cessation, assisted ventilation use, and onset of left ventricular dysfunction) and ...
