Muscle Diseases: The Muscular Dystrophies
Annual Review of Pathology: Mechanisms of Disease, 2007Dystrophic muscle disease can occur at any age. Early- or childhood-onset muscular dystrophies may be associated with profound loss of muscle function, affecting ambulation, posture, and cardiac and respiratory function. Late-onset muscular dystrophies or myopathies may be mild and associated with slight weakness and an inability to increase muscle ...

Muscular dystrophies (MDs) are a genetically heterogeneous group of degenerative muscle disorders with protein defects characterized by progressive muscle weakness and wasting of variable distribution and severity. Recent advances made in genetic medicine have highlighted the diversity of this group of disorders.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (or Meryon's Disease)
The Lancet, 2001Abstract This disease is eponymously associated with the name Duchenne because this French physician described the condition in detail in the 1860s (Duchenne 1861; 1868). His contributions were concerned with the clinical description of the condition and the muscle histology findings.
