    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchenne_muscular_dystrophy

    Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the most common type of muscular dystrophy, [3] with a median life expectancy of 27–31 years. [5] [11] However, with comprehensive care, some individuals may live into their 30s or 40s. [3] Duchenne muscular dystrophy is considerably rarer in females, occurring in approximately one in 50,000,000 live female ...

    Many affected people will eventually become unable to walk [2] and Duchenne muscular dystrophy in particular is associated with shortened life expectancy. Muscular dystrophy was first described in the 1830s by Charles Bell. [2] The word "dystrophy" comes from the Greek dys, meaning "no, un-" and troph-meaning "nourish". [2]

    Many forms of muscular dystrophy are associated with disorders of the dystrophin-associated protein complex. [6] Muscular dystrophy, the result of mutations in the genes that encode for dystrophin and the associated proteins that binds to it can arise in various forms. [7] The most common form is known as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). [8]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dystrophinopathy

    Dystrophinopathy refers to a spectrum of diseases due to mutations in the DMD gene, which encodes for the dystrophin protein found in muscle. [1] [2] [3] The severe end of the spectrum includes Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), and DMD-associated dilated cardiomyopathy.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myotonic_dystrophy

    Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is a type of muscular dystrophy, a group of genetic disorders that cause progressive muscle loss and weakness. [1] In DM, muscles are often unable to relax after contraction. [1] Other manifestations may include cataracts, intellectual disability and heart conduction problems.

    Distal muscular dystrophy, also called distal myopathy, is essentially any muscle disease that preferentially affects the hands and/or feet, a much less common pattern than proximal muscle weakness. Late adult-onset type 1; Late adult-onset type 2a; Late adult-onset type 2b; Early adult-onset type 1; Early adult-onset type 2; Early adult-onset ...
