MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY
Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness and degeneration. There are several types, each affecting different muscles and having varied onset and progression.
Types:
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD): The most common and severe form, typically affecting boys, with early onset in childhood.
Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD): Similar to DMD but with later onset and slower progression.
Myotonic Dystrophy: Affects adults, causing prolonged muscle contractions.
Facioscapulohumeral MD: Affects facial, shoulder, and upper arm muscles.
Causes:
MD is caused by genetic mutations that interfere with the production of proteins necessary for healthy muscle function. These mutations are usually inherited, but can also occur spontaneously.
Symptoms:
Progressive muscle weakness and wasting.
Difficulty walking, frequent falls, and loss of reflexes.
Muscle cramps and stiffness.
In severe cases, heart and respiratory muscles can be affected.
Diagnosis:
Genetic Testing: To identify specific mutations.
Muscle Biopsy: To examine muscle tissue.

Support:
