Research Paper On Becker's Muscular Dystrophy

Dystrophin, a protein that is found in the human body that affects muscular fibers in the body. Many times the body will have perfect levels of dystrophin, but at times people will have a slight defect in this protein. A disorder that results from the milder dystrophic phenotype is Becker’s Muscular Dystrophy. When diagnosed with this, a person would be wise to research what this is. Becker’s Muscular Dystrophy is a mutation on the dystrophin gene. This may lead to a lack of ability to walk. This disorder is found on the X-chromosome. Women rarely develop this disorder due to the fact that women have two x chromosomes that they can use the unaffected chromosome to compensate for the disturbed one. Symptoms of this disorder are muscle
