• MONDO:0010311: Becker 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 (OMIA:001081), while alleles with partial remaining protein function give rise to the milder Becker muscular dystrophy.

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