Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of genetic diseases involving progressive weakness and degeneration of the muscles that control movement. In some forms of MD‚ the heart muscles and other involuntary muscles‚ as well as other organs‚ are affected. There are 9 distinct types of MD. Myotonic MD is the most common form among adults‚ while Duchenne MD is the most common form among children (it affects only boys). Some are severe diseases at birth that lead to early death. Others follow very slow progressive

Cyril MIller Per.6 Spinal Muscular Atrophy Spinal muscular atrophy is a group of inherited diseases that cause muscle damage and weakness‚ which get worse over time and eventually lead to death. Causes: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a collection of different muscle diseases. Grouped together‚ it is the second leading cause of hereditary neuromuscular disease‚ after Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Most of the time‚ a person must get the defective gene from both parents to be affected. About 4

Muscular dystrophy‚ MD‚ is a group of inherited muscle diseases that weaken the muscles that help the body move (Clark‚ 1995). There are nine major forms of MD. These are Myotonic‚ Duchenne‚ Becker‚ Limb-girdle‚ Facioscapulohumeral‚ Congenital‚ Oculopharyngeal‚ Distal‚ and Emery-Dreifuss (Wikipedia contributors‚ 2009). The type of disease is based on a few factors which are as follows: when in a person’s life MD appears‚ the degree to which the muscle is affected‚ how the disease came about‚ and the

marked by progressive wasting of certain "muscles." (Oxford) A general term for a group of inherited disorders which are characterized by progressive degeneration of skeletal muscles. A group of inherited progressive muscle disorders characterized by muscle weakness and eventual death of the muscle tissues. Examples include “Duchenne muscular dystrophy” and “Becker’s muscular dystrophy.” (NCIt) All of the muscles may be affected. Or‚ only specific groups of muscles may be affected‚ such as those around

diseases that affect the periphery nerves in the body‚ motor and sensory nerves are affected however in some rare cases only the motor nerves are affected; distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN). The affected nerves cause characteristics such as muscle weakness and lack of sensation in the respective limbs. It can be characterised by there being no known metabolic derangement with the inherited neuropathy. It’s caused by mutations in particular

inherited disease that causes progressive muscle and bones weakness. The symptoms usually appear before age 6 and may appear as early as infancy. Symptoms can be noticed very early like not sitting and standing independently at the correct age. The age for walking for boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy is around 18 months. There is progressive muscle weakness of the legs and pelvic muscles‚ which is caused by a loss of muscle mass. This muscle weakness can cause difficulty climbing stairs. Most
