There are some indications that Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) might be related to mental disorders and mental retardation (MR). To investigate this question, we made a standardized psychiatric and intellectual level assessment of 22 BMD patients in comparison with 22 limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) patients. There were not significant differences between the two groups. Twelve patients (54.5%) in each group received at least one lifetime psychiatric diagnosis, the most frequent being depressive disorders. The intelligence quotient means for BMD was 85.9 and 87.8 for LGMD. There was one case of mild MR among BMD patients and two cases among LGMD patients.
有一些迹象表明，贝克尔肌营养不良症（BMD）可能与精神障碍和智力发育迟缓（MR）有关。为了研究这个问题，我们对22例BMD患者进行了标准化的精神和智力水平评估，并与22例肢带型肌营养不良症（LGMD）患者进行了比较。两组之间没有显著差异。每组中有12名患者（54.5%）至少接受过一次终生精神疾病诊断，最常见的是抑郁症。BMD患者的智商平均值为85.9，LGMD患者为87.8。BMD患者中有1例轻度MR，LGMD患者中有2例。
