DMD deletions underlining mild dystrophinopathies: literature review highlights phenotype-related mutation clusters and provides insights about genetic mechanisms and prognosis

DMD deletions underlining mild dystrophinopathies: literature review highlights phenotype-related mutation clusters and provides insights about genetic mechanisms and prognosis

DMD gene pathogenic variations cause a spectrum of phenotypes, ranging from severe Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the Becker milder cases, the intermediate or very mild muscle phenotypes invariably characterized by high CK, and the ultrarare fully-asymptomatic cases. Besides these phenotypes, X-linked...
