Muscular Dystrophy is a group of various disorders of the muscular system, mostly involving skeletal muscle in the body. It represents a group of genetic disorders that result in abnormal muscle proteins being formed or absent. This in turn causes muscle dysfunction, weakness, loss of muscle fibers, inflammatory injury, as well as sometimes involvement of other tissues. Of the group, some are rare and some are more common. Some have tremendous disability and rapid decline whereas others have minimal symptoms and very slow almost imperceptible progression. Some present in childhood, while others can wait until late adulthood to declare themselves. Overall, there are nine major types of Muscular Dystrophy disorders. MORE
