Subtle weakness can be missed in busy outpatient units. Traditionally muscle biopsy is used for definitive diagnosis. But it is invasive and less helpful in genetic counseling of inherited dystrophinopathies compared to genetic studies. Newer techniques like next generation sequencing (NGS) also help in understanding many phenotype-genotype co-relations. We describe here a seven year boy who presented with mild weakness, without any evidence of cardiomyopathy and had exon 46 - 48 deletion on NGS.en-USBecker's Muscular Dystrophy (BMD)exon deletion 46-48next generation sequencingArticle
