Becker's muscular dystrophy
Becker muscular dystrophy (also known as ''Benign pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy'') is an X-linked recessive inherited disorder characterized by slowly progressive muscle weakness of the legs and pelvis.
It is a type of dystrophinopathy, which includes a spectrum of muscle diseases in which there is insufficient dystrophin produced in the muscle cells, resulting in instability in the structure of muscle cell membrane. This is caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene, which encodes the protein dystrophin. Becker muscular dystrophy is related to Duchenne muscular dystrophy in that both result from a mutation in the ''dystrophin'' gene, but in Duchenne muscular dystrophy no functional dystrophin is produced making DMD much more severe than BMD.
==Eponym==
Becker Muscular Dystrophy is named after the German doctor Peter Emil Becker (November 23, 1908 Hamburg, Germany - 2000).
