An inherited disorder of the muscular system is a condition that is passed down through genes, affecting muscle structure or function. One example is Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness due to a deficiency of dystrophin, a protein essential for muscle integrity. These disorders can lead to significant mobility challenges and varying degrees of muscle impairment throughout a person's life.

What is an illness condition related to the muscular system?
Muscular dystrophy is one. It is typically an inherited disorder that causes degeneration of the skeletal muscles.
An inherited muscle disorder in which the muscle tissue degenerates over time resulting in complete helplessness is know as?
An inherited muscle disorder in which the muscle tissue degenerates over time resulting in complete helplessness is known as Muscular Dystrophy.
What is a type of disease or disorder of the muscular system?
Muscle Cancer
Is muscular dystrophic infectious?
I believe you are referring to muscular dystrophy, this is a inherited degenerative muscular disease, and can only be inherited from parents.There are a number of types of muscular dystrophy but this along with all other inherited diseases are not infections.
How does muscular dystrophy affect the Muscular System?
Muscular Dystrophy (abbr. MD) is a genetic disorder that DESTROYS MUSCLES that help the body move. As the muscle is destroyed they are replaced with fat and and connective tissue. Source.: Textbook: Human Biology 11th edition, pg 268; Silvia S. Mader.
Which type of disoreder is muscular disorder?
That would depend on the type of muscular disorder.
What is inherited genetic disorder?
A disorder you inherit from your ancestors.
Can you name a muscular disorder similar to but not muscular dystrophy?
Fibromyalgia.
What are some diseases to the muscular system?
A disease, also known as pathology, is any abnormal condition. These include injuries like strains, which can range from mild to severe that requires a trip to the ER. Lack of use and malnutrition can lead to atrophy. Spasticity could be a disorder of the nervous system. The disorder known as Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by a genetic disorder.
Which type of disorder is muscular dystrophy?
Muscular dystrophy is a type of genetic disorder. The disorder weakens the muscles until they can no longer move. People with this disorder do not produce a protein needed for healthy muscles.
What body systems are affected by muscular dystrophy?
The body systems that are affected by muscular dystrophy include the nervous system and the musculoskeletal system. Many organs are also affected by this genetic disorder.
What is the most common muscular dysfunction in children?
I don't know if its the most common but Muscular dystrophy is a genetic (inherited) disorder of the muscles. Muscular dystrophy causes the muscles in the body to become very weak. The muscles break down and are replaced with fatty deposits over time. Resulting in muscle wasting and weakening.
