Muscular<br />dystrophies are a heterogeneous group of myopathies. They are genetic disorders caused by<br />muscle fiber degeneration often causing progressive weakness and wasting and they can be<br />further divided into the following<br />Myotonic dystrophies – DM1 andDM2<br />Dystrophinopathies - DMD, BMD<br />Facioscapulohumeral - FSHD<br />Limb-girdle – LGMD subtypes<br />Distal muscular dystrophies<br />Congenital dystrophies - CMD<br />Oculofaryngeal - OPM, OPDM<br />Emery-Dreifuss - X-EMD, AD-EMD<br /&gt;Other and unclassified muscular dystrophies}, number={10}, journal={European Scientific Journal, ESJ}, author={Udd, Bjarne}, year={2014}, month={May} }
