Discriminant functions to identify patients with BMD and LGMD.

Discriminant functions
Y 1 = −19.406 + 0.724X 1 − 0.003X 2 + 0.032X 3 + 0.80X 4 + 0.001X 5 + 13.299X 6
Y 2 = −30.537 + 0.909X 1 e − 0.007X 2 + 0.030X 3 + 0.92X 4 + 0.002X 5 + 18.745X 6

BMD, Becker's muscular dystrophy; LGMD, limb girdle muscular dystrophy; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALP, alkaline phosphatase; LDH, lactic dehydrogenase.

X 1 is age, X 2 is ALT, X 3 is AST, X 4 is ALP, X 5 is LDH, and X 6 is gender, Y 1 represents a diagnosis of BMD, and Y 2 represents a diagnosis of LGMD.
