Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is a serious dystrophinopathy. Declining function can begin at different ages, but once it begins, Becker patients are on an irreversible path to losing muscle and consequently, function.

We will discuss the following:

  • The clinical course and natural history of Becker muscular dystrophy: perceptions and current data
  • The personal experience of living with Becker muscular dystrophy
  • The emerging clinical trial landscape: Are we ready? What’s next?
