Whole-Body Skeletal Muscle MRI Patterns in Female Dystrophinopathy Carriers

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Background and Objectives: carriers who were asymptomatic at the time of the study and female control participants using whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) and correlate the findings with clinical and genetic data. Methods: carriers. Results: < 0.001), particularly in muscles of the calves, thighs, and pelvic region. The most frequently affected muscles were gastrocnemius, gluteus maximus, and soleus. No correlations were found between the MRI results and the clinical and genetic data. Discussion: female carriers will facilitate early detection and management of complications.
