• MONDO:0010679: Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Cross-species summary: Variants in the DMD gene may give rise to phenotypes with different severity. True null alleles cause the more severe Duchenne muscular dystrophy, while alleles with partial remaining protein function give rise to the milder Becker muscular dystrophy (OMIA:001888).

Species in which this phene is found:
Rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta)
dog (Canis lupus familiaris)
domestic cat (Felis catus)
pig (Sus scrofa)
