Because these are inherited disorders, risks include a family history of muscular dystrophy. Lambert-Eaton syndrome and myasthenia gravis also have symptoms that may be similar to early stages of some types of muscular dystrophies, so these disorders must be ruled out when muscular dystrophies are diagnosed.

MDA's Medical Advisory and Scientific Advisory committees review projects that will increase knowledge in the neuromuscular field and may lead to treatments or cures for muscular dystrophy and related disorders. MDA's Task force studies all aspects of genetic defects implicated directly or indirectly in neuromuscular diseases. Their patient services program provides comprehensive medical services to children and adults with neuromuscular diseases. MDA clinics provide diagnosis and follow-up care from specialists. Through local chapters MDA patients receive many other direct services, including assistance with purchase and repair of wheelchairs, recreation at summer camps, and selected transportation assistance. MDA publishes and distributes a wide variety of print and audiovisual materials to promote public understanding and provide information to parents and caregivers of MDA patients. They offer a quarterly newsletter, MDA Reports, a publication "Quest" , and a booklet for siblings, "Hey! I'm Here Too!"

The gene is exceptional by having many rather small exons; 10 exons are only 58-86 bp, while exons 12, 15 and 14 are even smaller, 12, 18 and 37 bp resp. Most introns vary in size between 0.2-2.6 kb. Exceptional are introns 18 and 20, measuring below 100 bp, and intron 1, with a size of 24.3 kb covering about half of the gene.

Muscles, primarily your voluntary muscles, become progressively weaker. In the late stages of muscular dystrophy, fat and connective tissue often replace muscle fibers. In some types of muscular dystrophy, heart muscles, other involuntary muscles and other organs are affected. Nine major types of muscular dystrophy occur. The most common muscular dystrophies appear to be due to a genetic deficiency of the muscle protein dystrophin.

    http://www.umm.edu/nervous/musctype.htm
    
    Extractions: Muscular dystrophy is a group of inherited diseases that are characterized by weakness and wasting away of muscle tissue, with or without the breakdown of nerve tissue. There are nine types of muscular dystrophy, but in each type there is an eventual loss of strength, increasing disability, and possible deformity. The most well known of the muscular dystrophies is Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) , followed by Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) . They cause similar patterns of weakness and disability and are inherited in the same way, although weakness and disability are more severe in DMD. Becker dystrophy is often classified as a less severe form of Duchenne dystrophy. They both are due to defects of the same gene, the normal function of which is to enable muscle fibers to make a particular chemical substance, a protein called dystrophin . Muscle fibers in people affected with DMD are extremely deficient in dystrophin, but in BMD the deficiency is less severe.
