Becker muscular dystrophy

Definition:

Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an X-linked neuromuscular disorder principally affecting males. It is caused by mutations in the DMD gene, which codes for dystrophin. In Becker muscular dystrophy, the distribution of muscle wasting and weakness is closely similar to that in Duchenne muscular dystrophy [DS:H01963], but the course of the disease is more benign.
