Patient's question:
It is known that progressive muscular dystrophy is a group of hereditary muscle diseases that primarily affect muscle tissue. However, besides the several types of this disease, I now want to know, hello, how many types of DMD muscular dystrophy are there?Doctor's answer:
Erd-type muscular dystrophy: Also known as limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, it is an autosomal recessive familial disease passed down over generations, affecting both males and females. It typically onset between the ages of 20-30, primarily causing fatigue and affecting proximal muscle groups, often first interfering with the upper limbs, and then impacting the lower limbs after more than ten years. Landouzy-Dejerine-type muscular dystrophy: Also known as facial-shoulder-deltoid muscular dystrophy.
