Patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) may experience neurobehavioral and cognitive concerns, including psychiatric symptoms, due to the absence of full-length dystrophin (Dp427), frequently accompanied by deficiencies in shorter isoforms. The lack of dystrophin affects neurophysiological processes from the uterine phase, impacting neural circuitry in brain regions such as the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum. This leads to reduced inhibitory GABAergic transmission and altered hippocampal glutamatergic signaling.

Background And Objectives: Slow and highly variable disease progression in Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) stresses the need to develop sensitive outcome measures for clinical trials. We evaluated responsiveness of different outcome measures in adult patients with BMD over 3 years and explored if the sensitivity of outcome measures can be increased by selecting on phenotype or genotype.
Methods: Genetically confirmed patients with BMD were recruited via the Dutch Dystrophinopathy Database.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive myopathy caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene, which is divided into presymptomatic, early ambulatory, late ambulatory, early non-ambulatory, and late non-ambulatory stages according to its disease progression. Some patients experience non-progressive cognitive developmental delays in the presymptomatic stage. DMD patients gradually develop osteoporosis, cardiomyopathy, decreased respiratory function, delayed puberty, and gastrointestinal symptoms as the disease progresses.
