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-specific description: All likely causal variants for X-linked muscular dystrophy due to variants in the DMD gene are listed under OMIA:001081-9615 : Muscular dystrophy, Duchenne type in Canis lupus familiaris (dog).
