About Muscular Dystrophy
关于肌肉萎缩
Muscular dystrophy is a group of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. In muscular dystrophy, abnormal genes (mutations) interfere with the production of proteins needed to form healthy muscle. There are many different kinds of muscular dystrophy. Symptoms of the most common variety begin in childhood, mostly in boys. Other types don’t surface until adulthood.
肌肉萎缩症是导致肌肉组织衰弱和萎缩的一组疾病。由于基因不正常或产生突变，身体制造蛋白质，以生长健康肌肉的过程出现问题。肌肉萎缩症分很多种，最常见的是从小患病，大部分病患是男童。也有一些人长大后才发病。
There’s no cure for muscular dystrophy. But medications and therapy can help manage symptoms and slow the course of the disease.
肌肉萎缩症目前没有治愈方法，但可依靠药物和物理治疗来缓解症状，减缓疾病恶化。
