Causes of Muscular Dystrophy
What causes muscular dystrophy?
Muscular dystrophy is caused by inheriting a changed (mutated) gene. This changed gene makes it hard for the body to build and maintain healthy muscles. All kinds of muscles can be affected, including arm, leg, and breathing muscles and the heart.
