Becker muscular dystrophy

Ryoikibetsu shokogun shirizu, 2001
Abstract Becker strongly believed that the newly discovered muscular dystrophy was allelic to DMD. For many years Duchenne type and Becker type of muscular dystrophy were considered to be distinct genetic entities. In 1983, Kingston et al.

Becker‐type muscular dystrophy

Muscle & Nerve, 1978
AbstractThis is a review of clinical, cardiologic, electrophysiologic, pathologic, and serum creatine kinase changes in eight families with slowly progressive X‐linked Becker‐type muscular dystrophy. All but one of the patients were able to walk until the age of 16 years, and most lived beyond 20.

Homozygous female Becker muscular dystrophy

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, 2009
AbstractWe report, for the first time, on a female Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) patient with homozygous dystrophin deletion. The 14‐year‐old patient, product of consanguineous parents, presented with a 7‐year history of exercise intolerance and recurrent myoglobinuria.

Muscular Dystrophy in a Dog Resembling Human Becker Muscular Dystrophy

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 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 variability in myofibre size, replacement of muscle with mature adipose tissue and degeneration ...

Becker-like muscular dystrophy in sisters

European Archives of Psychiatry and Clinical Neuroscience, 1995
Two sisters with muscular dystrophy of Becker-like clinical features presented. Muscle weakness was most prominent in the pelvic girdle, but in the elder sister the distal muscles of the lower extremities were also affected. The progression was different in the siblings: The older sister showed a more pronounced deterioration than the younger.

Cardiac transplantation in becker muscular dystrophy

Journal of Neurology, 1988
A 23-year-old man with X-linked Becker type muscular dystrophy underwent cardiac transplantation because of dilated cardiomyopathy which was complicated by terminal heart failure. Impairment of muscle function was mild and slowly progressive, whereas the cardiac disease was severe and rapidly progressive.

Muscle histology in becker muscular dystrophy

Muscle & Nerve, 1991
AbstractTwenty patients with Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), confirmed by dystrophin tests, were studied histologically. There were several morphological differences between younger (≤15‐year‐old) and older (>15‐year‐old) patients. In the younger patients, active muscle fiber necrosis followed by a regenerating process was conspicuous. In the older

Cardiac dysfunction with Becker muscular dystrophy

American Heart Journal, 1996
Cardiac function was examined in 21 patients with Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) and compared with 43 patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and 37 healthy control subjects. Electrocardiography showed myocardial damage was most frequently found in the lateral wall, compatible with autopsy findings.

Prednisone Therapy in Becker's Muscular Dystrophy

Journal of Child Neurology, 2001
Two boys with Becker's muscular dystrophy had a dramatic and sustained improvement in strength with therapeutic use of prednisone. Both had documented Xp-21 defects on DNA testing. Concurrently with improvement, there was a decrease in their serum creatine kinase levels.

Electroretinogram in Duchenne/Becker Muscular Dystrophy

Pediatric Neurology, 1998
The authors studied all cases with dystrophinopathy consecutively reviewed between May 1995 and December 1996 by means of electroretinography (ERG), which was recorded using skin eyelid electrodes and with standard flash stimulation. This methodology can detect the functional abnormalities associated with dystrophinopathies. The most valuable parameter
