Becker muscular dystrophy
MONDO:0010311Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is a neuromuscular disease characterized by progressive muscle wasting and weakness due to degeneration of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscle.
Also known as: BMD, Becker dystrophinopathy, Becker muscular dystrophy, Becker muscular dystrophy, X-linked recessive, Becker's muscular dystrophy, muscular dystrophy pseudohypertrophic progressive, Becker type, muscular dystrophy, Becker type, muscular dystrophy, pseudohypertrophic progressive, Becker type

Hope for becker MD: new drug shows promise in Long-Term trial
Disease control By invitation onlyThis study looks at the long-term safety and effects of a drug called EDG-5506 (sevasemten) in people with Becker muscular dystrophy, a muscle-weakening disease. About 260 adults and teens who were in earlier EDG-5506 studies will take the drug and be monitored for side effects a…

Researchers hunt for muscle clues in rare dystrophy
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis pilot study looks at biomarkers in the blood of people with fragile sarcolemmal muscular dystrophy, a condition that makes muscle membranes weak. Researchers will collect blood samples at rest and after exercise during four 5-day hospital stays. The goal is to better underst…
