Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophies
Neurologic Clinics, 2014The dystrophinopathies Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies (DMD and BMD) represent the most common inherited disorders of muscle. Improvements in cardiac care, attention to respiratory function, and judicious use of spinal correction surgery have led to increased survival in the DMD population.

Muscle MRI in Becker muscular dystrophy
Neuromuscular Disorders, 2012The aim of this study was to evaluate pelvis and lower limb muscle MRI scans of 46 patients affected by Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), subdivided according to disease severity, ranging from clinically asymptomatic patients to patients who had lost ambulation.

Cardiac transplantation in Becker muscular dystrophy
Neuromuscular Disorders, 1992Becker muscular dystrophy is associated with abnormal cardiac features in about 75% of cases; up to one-third will develop ventricular dilatation leading to congestive cardiac failure. As this form of muscular dystrophy is relatively benign, failure to respond to medical treatment warrants assessment for cardiac transplantation.

2014
After the historical description by Becker and Kiener in 1955 in affected families, the discovery of the dystrophin gene led to a drastic reconsideration of clinical phenotypes associated with deletion or duplication of the dystrophin gene (Table 3.1), and several different clinical entities were described with associated different prognosis according ...

Histopathological Findings in Becker-Type Muscular Dystrophy
Archives of Neurology, 1984Muscle biopsy specimens from 14 patients with Becker-type muscular dystrophy were analyzed to investigate possible neurogenic factors underlying the histopathological changes. Group atrophy, pyknotic nuclear clumps, and angular small fibers were seen respectively in 71%, 85%, and 100% of the cases.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Becker Muscular Dystrophy: Diagnostic Principles
2006Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and the milder phenotype, Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), are allelic X-linked disorders characterized by progressive, degenerative myopathy (1). About 95% of the DMD patients are diagnosed before the age of six, whereas BMD patients may show variable phenotypes with symptoms ranging from less severe DMD-like to very ...

[Cardiomyopathy in Becker muscular dystrophy].
Rinsho shinkeigaku = Clinical neurology, 1991In 6 patients with dystrophin-verified Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), 3 patients had dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM group). The other 3 patients (non-DCM group) also had ECG abnormalities including incomplete right bundle branch block, left ventricular enlargement and intraventricular conduction defect.
