DMD and neuromuscular disease caused by qualitative or quantitative defects of dystrophin: DMD affects around 1:5000 male newborns; however, it also rarely occurs in women (less than one per million) with Turner syndrome, biallelic DMD mutations, or translocations involving DMD. In most cases, female carriers are usually asymptomatic, however, some manifest symptoms resembling the milder type of dystrophinopathy, Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) [8].
