Journal: OBM Genetics
Year: 2025

Dystrophinopathies are genetic muscular disorders with recessive inheritance linked to the X chromosome due to mutations in the dystrophin gene, the &lt;em&gt;DMD&lt;/em&gt; gene located in Xp21. The best-known forms are Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). Our study aims to determine the molecular profile and genotype/phenotype correlations of dystrophinopathies in the eastern region of Morocco. We report patients referred for 4 years (2020-2023) to the Medical
