Muscular dystrophy is caused due to

One main cause of muscular dystrophy is genetic disorder.

Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetic disorders characterised by progressive muscle weakness and degeneration. These conditions result from mutations in specific genes responsible for muscle fibre structure and function. Different types of muscular dystrophy are associated with different gene mutations. Muscular dystrophy is typically inherited and can follow various inheritance patterns. Some of the most common forms include Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), and myotonic dystrophy (DM).
