Description: Professional information about muscular dystrophy,treatments, symptoms, causes and genetic inheritance.Muscular dystrophies are a family of hereditary (genetic) diseases that cause progressive and steady muscle weakening and wasting. Dystrophies owe their name to a genetic defect in the synthesis of a muscular protein, called dystrophin, which is an essential functional building block of skeletal (and, in some diseases, cardiac) muscle. When our body lacks the correct genetic sequence for dystrophin, our cells produce a defective and non-functional version of dystrophin, which in turns causes muscles to gradually waste and weaken
