Comment:

2.5–7.8% of women are affected and are classified as symptomatic carriers. Age at symptom onset in the symptomatic female carriers ranged from 15 to 31 years and the age at diagnosis for asymptomatic carriers ranged from 4 to 38 years (PMID:26022459). Cardiac involvement is a frequent finding in female carriers of DMD, but less frequently observed in carriers of BMD. Female carriers of DMD and BMD with cardiac involvement demonstrate the same myocardial fibrosis pattern as their male counterparts with overt disease (PMID:26113120).
