Effect of vitamin D on Becker muscular dystrophy: A review

Résumé

The correlation between Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) and vitamin D has long been known, since vitamin D controls bone turnover which occurs in this disease. Thus, vitamin D is beneficial to some extent to BMD patients due to the fact that it has long been known to play an important part in bone metabolism. According to recent studies which suggest association between vitamin D and multiple diseases involving multiple organs, vitamin D may alleviate the pathophysiology of BMD. This review focuses on the benefits of vitamin D to BMD patients through alleviation of the pathophysiology and complications of the disease. Keywords: Becker muscular dystrophy, Cardiomyopathy, Vitamin D
