Muscular dystrophy comprises a group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness and wasting, with a global incidence of approximately 1 in 5,000 individuals. While it can manifest at any age, it is most commonly diagnosed in childhood. The root cause of muscular dystrophy lies in mutations affecting genes responsible for muscle structure and function, leading to the gradual degeneration and loss of muscle fibers.Clinicians participating in this activity gain a comprehensive understanding of muscular dystrophy, including the global incidence, manifestation across ages, and the genetic basis involving mutations in muscle structure and function genes. The CE activity explores distinct hereditary patterns, emphasizing specific gene alterations leading to diverse manifestations. Participants learn about the impact on skeletal and cardiac muscles, disease progression, and associated complications, enhancing diagnostic and management skills for optimal patient care.
