Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of inherited muscle disorders in which there is skeletal muscle weakness and muscle tissue loss. The cause can be a mutation of a protein which is responsible for muscle strength or some other reasons such as nutritional defects during pregnancy.
MD is passed down and can run in families but some types develop out of the blue without any family history. The diagnosis is made through muscle biopsy, creatine phosphokinase markers, ECG, EMG and many other lab tests. A physical exam by the doctor may reveal muscle wasting, joint contractures and scoliosis (abnormal curve of the spine).
