Genetics and muscle pathology in the diagnosis of muscular dystrophies: An update
Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2022 Muscular dystrophies are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders involving the skeletal muscles. They have a progressive clinical course and are characterized by muscle fiber degeneration.

Current Biology, 2000 Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetically determined muscular disorders marked by progressive wasting and weakness of the skeletal muscle, but which often affect cardiac and smooth muscles or other tissues. The patterns of inheritance are either dominant or recessive although the gene may be defective because of a new mutation.

Annexins and Membrane Repair Dysfunctions in Muscular Dystrophies
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Muscular dystrophies constitute a group of genetic disorders that cause weakness and progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass. Among them, Miyoshi muscular dystrophy 1 (MMD1), limb girdle muscular dystrophy type R2 (LGMDR2/2B), and LGMDR12 (2L) are ...
