They are sex-linked (X-linked) disorders that typically pass from a mother (who has no symptoms) to her son. Girls are rarely affected. Both Duchenne MD and Becker MD cause weak muscles, lack of coordination, and progressive disability. Duchenne MD begins with muscle loss in the pelvis, upper arms, and legs. The first signs and symptoms of DMD develop between ages 2 to 5 years. Symptoms include: Many children with DMD lose their ability to walk by late childhood and require wheelchairs.
