The X-linked Becker muscular dystrophy (bmx) mouse models Becker muscular dystrophy via deletion of
Personal take on this article: Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is a genetic disease that affects muscles, caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. It's not as severe as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), but there aren't many treatments available for BMD.
