(Tıp) muscular dystrophy

A group of genetic diseases which cause progressive skeletal muscle weakness, defects in muscle proteins, and the death of muscle cells and tissue

There are many types but two are most apt to be found in the college community In Aran-Duchene disease (adult progressive spinal muscular dystrophy), the muscles of the hands are impaired, there may be involuntary twitching of the hand and arm muscles, and the legs may be weak and stiff In myotonic dystrophy, there is stiffness in the limbs and a difficulty in relaxing the grip, the voice may have a nasal quality, and facial muscles are weakened, resulting in a mask-like appearance Both types of MD are progressive

The gene can now be detected in female carriers and male fetuses. Becker dystrophy, also sex-linked, is less severe and begins later. Patients remain able to walk and usually survive into their 30s and 40s. Myotonic muscular dystrophy affects adults of both sexes, with myotonia and degeneration two to three years later, along with cataracts, baldness, and gonadal atrophy. Limb-girdle dystrophy affects the pelvic or shoulder muscles in both sexes. Facioscapulohumeral (face, shoulder-blade, and upper-arm) dystrophy starts in childhood or adolescence and affects both sexes; after initial symptoms of difficulty raising the arms, the legs and pelvic muscles can be affected; the main facial effect is difficulty in closing the eyes. Life expectancy is normal

肌肉萎縮症

a broad term that describes a genetic (inherited) disorder of the muscles MD causes the muscles in the body to become very weak The muscles break down and are replaced with fatty deposits over time The most common form of MD is called Duchenne's muscular dystrophy (DMD)

A group of diseases that gradually weakens muscle tissue; usually becomes evident by the age of four or five

A group of genetic degenerative myopathies characterized by weakness and muscle atrophy without nervous system involvement The three main types are pseudohypertrophic (Duchenne, Becker), limb-girdle, and facioscapulohumeral

This term is used to designate a group of muscle-destroying disorders which vary in hereditary pattern, age of onset, initial muscles attacked, and rate of progression These disorders include, but are not limited to

One of several conditions that affect the muscles and nerves, causing weakness and movement difficulties All are caused by a genetic defect, and in some cases the gene has been identified There is no cure for any form of MD yet, but experimental gene therapy is currently being investigated

the name given to a group of diseases that are, for the most part, genetically determined and cause gradual wasting of muscle with accompanying weakness and deformity

Muscular dystrophy is a serious disease in which your muscles gradually weaken. a serious illness in which the muscles become weaker over a period of time. Inherited disease that causes progressive weakness in the skeletal (and occasionally heart) muscle. Muscle tissue degenerates and regenerates randomly and is replaced by scar tissue and fat. There is no specific treatment. Physical therapy, braces, and corrective surgery may help. Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the most common, strikes only males. Symptoms, including frequent falls and difficulty in standing up, start in boys 3-7 years old; muscle wasting progresses from the legs to the arms and then the diaphragm. Pulmonary infection or respiratory failure usually causes death before age

any of several hereditary diseases of the muscular system characterized by weakness and wasting of skeletal muscles

Any of a group of hereditary diseases characterized by progressive degeneration of the muscles

Muscular dystrophy refers to any one of a group of muscle diseases in which there is a recognizable pattern of inheritance They are marked by weakness and wasting of selected muscles The affected muscle fibers degenerate and are replaced by fatty tissue The dystrophies are classified according to the patient's age at onset, distribution of the weakness, progression of the disease, and mode of inheritance The most common form is Duchenne dystrophy, which is inherited as a sex-linked recessive gene and is nearly always restricted to boys It usually begins before the age of four, with weakness and wasting of the muscles of the pelvis and back

Progressive muscle weakness and atrophy caused by deficient dystrophin protein
