Respuesta :
Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies (DMD/BMD) are X-linked recessive neuromuscular disorders characterized by progressive irreversible muscle weakness and atrophy that affect both skeletal and cardiac muscles
What is Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy ?
Both Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy are caused by mutations in a protein called dystrophin
- In Duchenne muscular dystrophy, functioning dystrophin is completely absent in muscle, while in Becker muscular dystrophy, there is some dystrophin present, although not enough for completely normal muscle function.
- it usually affects boys in early childhood; people with the condition will usually only live into their 20s or 30s.
