About Muscular Dystrophy
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.
There’s no cure for muscular dystrophy. But medications and therapy can help manage symptoms and slow the course of the disease.
关于肌肉萎缩症
肌肉萎缩症是一组逐渐导致肌肉无力和衰退的疾病。患有这个疾病的人因为基因突变，影响他们制造蛋白质的能力，无法组成健康的肌肉。肌肉萎缩症分很多种，最常见的症状在童年阶段出现，大部分影响男童。一些类别的症状到了成年阶段才出现。
肌肉萎缩症是不愈之症，但可以通过药物和医疗来应对症状，以及减缓疾病恶化的速度。
