Summaries for Muscular Dystrophy, Becker Type

About this section
OMIM : 57 The muscular dystrophy that carries the Becker eponym is similar to Duchenne muscular dystrophy in the distribution of muscle wasting and weakness, which is mainly proximal, but the course is more benign, with age of onset around 12 years; some patients have no symptoms until much later in life. Loss of ambulation also varies from adolescence onward, with death usually in the fourth or fifth decade. In some cases, as in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a degree of mental impairment is present (Emery, 2002). As in DMD, about 5 to 10% of female carriers of this X-linked disorder show muscle weakness, and frequently enlarged calves--so-called manifesting heterozygotes. Such weakness is often asymmetric; it can develop in childhood or not become evident until adult life, and can be slowly progressive or remain static. Because weakness is essentially proximal, differentiation from limb-girdle muscular dystrophy is essential for genetic counseling. In both DMD and BMD, female carriers may develop dilated cardiomyopathy in the absence of apparent weakness (Grain et al., 2001). (300376)

MalaCards based summary : Muscular Dystrophy, Becker Type, also known as becker muscular dystrophy, is related to muscular dystrophy, duchenne type and myopathy, and has symptoms including weakness An important gene associated with Muscular Dystrophy, Becker Type is DMD (Dystrophin), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). The drugs Carvedilol and Ramipril have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include heart, testes and bone, and related phenotypes are difficulty walking and myoglobinuria

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 75 Becker muscular dystrophy: A neuromuscular disorder characterized by dystrophin deficiency. It appears between the age of 5 and 15 years with a proximal motor deficiency of variable progression. Heart involvement can be the initial sign. Becker muscular dystrophy has a more benign course than Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

NIH Rare Diseases : 53 Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an inherited condition that causes progressive weakness and wasting of the skeletal and cardiac (heart) muscles. It primarily affects males. The age of onset and rate of progression can vary. Muscle weakness usually becomes apparent between the ages of 5 and 15. In some cases, heart involvement (cardiomyopathy) is the first sign. BMD is caused by a mutation in the DMD gene and is inherited in an X-linked recessive manner. BMD is very similar to Duchenne muscular dystrophy, except that in BMD, symptoms begin later and progress at a slower rate. There is no cure for this condition, but there is ongoing research that shows significant promise in treating the disease. Current treatment aims to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life. People with BMD may survive into their 40s or beyond.
