In Becker's, there is still a somewhat functional form of dystrophin present, leading to less severe symptoms compared to that of Duchenne's, where dystrophin is entirely absent.

Females have a wider pelvis in general, a wider obturator foramen, and their pubic angle is greater. In the subject os the skull, men tend to have heavier and thicker skulls, and they have sligthly blunter orbital surface. Men also have a more pronounced temporal ridge than women.

1) The male skull is larger and heavier than the female skull
2) The female pelvis is wider and larger than the male pelvis, while the male iliac crest is higher than the female pelvis.

Mostly in the lumbar vertebrae, but cervical disc herniations may also occur

Could you be more specific, for example, sites in between certain vertebrae?
