how is muscular dystrophy contracted?

Answer 1

Muscular dystrophy is not contracted like an infectious disease, but rather it is an inherited disorder caused by mutations in certain genes. These genetic mutations can be inherited from one or both parents or can occur spontaneously in an affected individual. There are several different types of muscular dystrophy, each associated with specific genes and patterns of inheritance. It is important to note that muscular dystrophy is not contagious and cannot be contracted through contact with an affected individual.
