Muscular dystrophy: A brief Overview 

When it comes to understanding the literal meaning of muscular Dystrophy, it can be understood by segregating the word. “Dys” means bad, and “trophy” means nourishment, so it basically means the muscle appears to be poorly nourished, which is because of degeneration, which leads to muscle weakness. Muscular Dystrophy is a group of genetic disorders that occur because of mutations in genes that lead to muscle tissue weakness. Such a disorder can lead to loss of function due to weakness in the muscles and, in some serious cases, can lead to death. Children with a family history of this disorder are likely to suffer from it and they should be helped with Muscular dystrophy treatment with great care.
