This probably has to do with Barr Bodies (FA 2021, pg 61). To paraphrase FA, penetrance and severity of diseases in XX individuals can be impacted. DMD is included in their list.
Her mom has high CK because her X inactivation is likely imbalanced to have more mutated X expressed. But note that a high CK does not equal full-blown Duchennes. It's similar to Hemophilia--women can have increased bleeding but not full hemophilia because of this phenomenon.
Her mother has some Duchenne phenotype, but we could just as easily see no phenotype in a carrier.
Further, if this woman is a carrier, her child has a 25% chance of developing DMD (50% chance of a boy, 50% of the bad X).
This woman likely has a 50% chance of being a carrier, she doesn't have DMD based on her CK and age and gender.
