MD is a genetic disorder that destroys muscles that help the body move.
Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetic disorders characterized by muscle weakening and wasting, while Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a specific type of muscular dystrophy caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. DMD is the most common and severe form of muscular dystrophy, typically affecting boys and leading to progressive muscle weakness and loss of function.
Not necessarily. Inheritiance of muscular dystrophy is not automatic. Children of a parent with muscular dystrophy have a 50% chance of inheriting the condition, depending on the specific type and genetic pattern of the disease.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a rare genetic disorder that primarily affects males. Due to the severity of the condition, there are no famous individuals known to have had Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
yea bcuz muscular dystrophy is the name of the disease and therefore is a proper noun
The missing molecule in Duchenne muscular dystrophy is dystrophin, which is a protein that helps maintain the structure and function of muscle cells. In individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, mutations in the DMD gene lead to a deficiency or absence of dystrophin protein.

Mixed Muscular Dystrophy is a rapid progression form of Muscular Dystrophy. This normally occurs to people between the ages of 30 and 50 and death normally occurs within 5 years.
Muscular dytrophy is not spread it is heriditary.
The muscular Dystrophy do not maintain homeostasis.
It effects only males. Women are carriers
Two conditionsa that affect the muscular system: Duchenne Muscle Dystrophy (DMD) and Myotonic Mucsle Dystrophy (MMD). DMD is the most common childhood form of muscular dystrophies while MMD is the most common adult form of muscular dystrophies.
Muscular Dystrophy Association was created in 1950.
There are many disorders that affect the muscular system. Two that may be best known are muscular dystrophy and Lou Gehrig's disease.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a rare genetic disorder that primarily affects males. Due to the severity of the condition, there are no famous individuals known to have had Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
primarily affects the skeletal muscles and the muscles of the heart.
