1 answer
Muscular dystrophy is not contracted or transmitted like a typical infection or disease. It is primarily a genetic disorder that is inherited from parents who carry the faulty genes. It occurs due to mutations in specific genes that control the structure and function of muscle fibers. These genetic mutations can be present from birth or acquired during conception. Muscular dystrophy is not caused by viruses, certain forms of cancer, or old age.
