Resumo(s)
Dystrophinopathy (Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy, DMD/BMD), a progressive neuromuscular disease with an X-linked recessive inheritance, is caused by pathogenic variants in the DMD gene, including large deletions (68%), duplications (11%), point variants (20%) and others. Although the majority of females heterozygous for these variants are asymptomatic, about 2.5-7.8% may have some symptom manifestations.
