To clarify the current status of genetic counseling and health monitoring for symptomatic and asymptomatic female carriers of dystrophinopathy (Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD)), we sent out questionnaires to 104 member institutions of The Japan's National Liaison Council for Clinical Sections of Medical Genetics, and responses were received from 51 institutions. Between April 2013 and March 2014, 57 carriers at 21 institutions received genetic counseling, and 37 carriers at 15 institutions underwent genetic screening for DMD/BMD mutations. At the 23 institutions that gave genetic counseling, 20 (87%) informed carriers of possible health problems, 14 (61%) informed carriers of cardiomyopathy and heart failure, and 14 (61%) advised carriers about regular medical checkups. Evidence based on accurate and up-to-date epidemiological studies of female carriers is needed and should be widely shared with the families, medical providers, and society.
