X-Recessive Disorders
Becker's muscular dystrophy
Becker’s muscular dystrophy is one of the nine types of muscular dystrophies that are genetic, deteriorative diseases affecting the voluntary muscles. It is an X-linked recessive disorder that is located at DMD. Symptoms that are shown with BMD are generally shown in late childhood or adolescence. Some of the symptoms include generalized weakness that first affect muscles of the pelvic area, hips, thighs and shoulders. Most of the people affected by BMD can survive well into their mid- to late adulthood. If their cardiac function is optimal and other aspects are controlled by medicine, a normal, or almost normal, lifespan could be achieved. Although there is no cure for BMD, researchers are
