REPORT DESCRIPTION
Muscular Dystrophy Treatment Market – Overview
Muscular Dystrophy is characterized by a collection of muscle-wasting conditions. The
disorder is caused by genetic mutations which interfere with the production of muscle protein
dystrophin, necessary to build muscles. Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease, consequently,
the chance of an individual developing a disease increases with a history of muscular
dystrophy in the family. The symptoms include shortening of muscles and tendons, the
curvature of spine, weakening of heart muscles leading to cardiac problems, and breathing
problems. The most common forms of muscular dystrophies include duchenne muscular
dystrophy, becker muscular dystrophy, myotonic disease, congenital disease and
oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy.
