Abstract in brief

  • This study investigates the clinical aspects of Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), a milder form of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), focusing on muscle, respiratory, cardiac, and central nervous system involvement in 225 patients.
  • Most patients presented initial muscular symptoms, with gait disturbances noted in over half, and a small percentage requiring ventilators or showing heart complications, with specific genotype correlations found.
  • The findings are significant for guiding treatment and preventive measures for BMD, offering crucial insights for both patients and healthcare professionals.
