Muscular dystrophies are a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders that share similar clinical features and dystrophic changes on muscle biopsy. An improved understanding of their molecular bases has led to more accurate definitions of the clinical features associated with known subtypes.

Muscular dystrophy includes many genetically distinct disorders. The list of causative genes for muscular dystrophy has been expanding rapidly, including those for congenital muscular dystrophies.We review the newly identified causative genes and suggested molecular mechanisms, focusing on glycosylation abnormality of alpha-dystroglycan, collagen VI ...

Muscular dystrophies are a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders characterized by progressive muscle wasting and weakness. Majority of genes and their protein products responsible for the dystrophies have been identified in recent years. Using molecular studies, now it is possible to establish a precise diagnosis, provide prognosis, detect ...

Muscular dystrophies represent a complex, varied, and important subset of neuromuscular disorders likely to require the care of a pulmonologist. The spectrum of conditions encapsulated by this subset ranges from severe and fatal congenital muscular dystrophies with onset in infancy to mild forms of limb and girdle weakness with onset in adulthood and ...

ABIOTROPHY of skeletal muscle — that is, degeneration and atrophy after a latent period of apparently normal development and function — is the most obvious common denominator in the group of disorders called the muscular dystrophies. It should be realized, however, that systems other than skeletal muscle are frequently involved in these diseases ...

PHOSPHODIESTERS IN MUSCULAR DYSTROPHIES
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1979Phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance studies of various normal and dystrophic muscles have demonstrated differences in phosphodiester contents. Dystrophic chicken pectoralis muscle contains elevated levels of the diester SEP, and Duchenne dystrophic human leg muscle lacks the diester GPC. It is shown that SEP may be characteristic of slow fiber types,

The muscular dystrophies are disorders of progressive muscular degeneration and weakness. As a group they display clinical heterogeneity that reflects the heterogeneity of molecular mechanisms responsible for them, and range from congenital to adulthood onset.

With transition to the genetic era, the number of muscular dystrophies has grown significantly, but so too has our understanding of their pathogenic underpinnings. Clinical features associated with each muscular dystrophy still guide us to the diagnosis. However, improved diagnostic abilities refine and expand phenotypic and genotypic correlates.
