Patient's question:
Friends are pretty girls, but recently they've noticed more and more muscle on their thighs, not knowing what the reason is. It's gotten to the point where they're even hesitant to show off their beautiful legs in the summer. After a thorough check-up at a hospital in the county, the doctor said their friend had pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy. What is pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy?Doctor's answer:
The possible pathogenesis of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a defect in the gene encoding dystrophin on the XpZI locus, specifically in exons 50 and 5. Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is located on chromosome 4, 935. Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is located on chromosome 15 or 16. Please consult a professional hospital or institution in your local area for treatment.
