muscular dystrophy

Muscular dystrophy refers to a group of hereditary, progressive muscle disorders. They lead to a gradual loss of muscle strength and muscle wasting, as genetic defects disrupt the production of essential muscle proteins. The best-known forms are the severe Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in children and the milder Becker muscular dystrophy.
