Muscular dystrophies cause loss of muscle mass and weakness of the muscle. It is a genetic disease, caused by a mutation that leads to a lack of a protein called dystrophin, which is necessary for muscle development. Without it, there can be problems with walking or coordination. Each muscular dystrophy disease is caused by a certain mutation particular to that illness.
Unfortunately, the majority of people who suffer from muscular dystrophies usually lose the ability to walk and they will eventually require a wheelchair.
In order to be detected, there can be made a series of blood tests for enzyme levels, a muscle biopsy, and a test for the electrical activity in the muscle.
