MD, muscular dystrophy; DMD, Duchenne muscular dystrophy; BMD, Becker's muscular dystrophy; FSHD, facioscapulohumeral dystrophy; LGMD, limb girdle muscular dystrophy; EDMD, Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALP, alkaline phosphatase; LDH, lactic dehydrogenase.
“→” represents that patients had similar levels of enzymes comparing with normal people (p > 0.05). “↑” represents that patients had significantly higher levels of enzymes comparing with normal people (p < 0.05).
