Muscular Dystrophy is caused when atypical gene mutations impede the production of proteins essential to the formation of healthy muscle. The main symptoms of the group of diseases designated as muscular dystrophy are loss of muscle mass and weakness. Medication can be prescribed to reduce symptoms but there is no known cure.
