Core Tip	Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an X-linked recessive disorder involving mutations of the dystrophin gene. This condition is rare but not uncommon. However, there are limited articles on this topic. Patients with BMD can present with mental retardation and diffuse muscular dystrophy. Cardiomyopathy is the number one cause of death in BMD. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of BMD pathophysiology and management. The paper will discuss both the established treatments as well as exciting new research on gene therapy.
