In other species: domestic cat , pig

Categories: Muscle phene

Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 300376 (trait) , 300377 (gene)

Single-gene trait/disorder: unknown

Disease-related: yes

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.
