P128 Quantitative ultrasonography reveals skeletal muscle abnormalities in female carriers of DMD pathogenic variants

The objectives were to compare lower limb NMUS findings in female carriers (FcDMD) vs non-carriers (FncDMD) of DMD pathogenic variants. Twenty-eight women (15 FcDMD and 13 FncDMD) underwent detailed clinical evaluation and NMUS. We collected information about muscle-related complaints and assessed muscle strength using the MRC scale.
