disc prolapse
Becker muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder that causes muscle weakness and progressive muscle wasting. It mainly affects boys and has similar symptoms to Duchenne muscular dystrophy, but in a milder form and with slower progression.
Causes/Description:
Becker muscular dystrophy is caused by mutations in the DMD gene, similar to Duchenne muscular dystrophy but to a less severe extent. The exact cause of these mutations is unknown, but genetics plays a role. Other factors may include environmental factors and neural wiring disorders.

disc prolapse
Becker muscular dystrophy is caused by mutations in the DMD gene, which is important for the production of the protein dystrophin. Mutations lead to a deficiency of dystrophin, which leads to muscle weakness and progressive muscle degeneration.
