Disorder information
Disorder name:
Muscular Dystrophy 
Disoder ID:
OMIM entry:
Synonyms:
Benign pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy,benign congenital myopathy 
Definition:
The term dystrophy means abnormal growth. However, muscular dystrophy is used to describe primary myopathies with a genetic basis and a progressive course characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness and wasting, defects in muscle proteins, and histological features of muscle fiber degeneration (necrosis) and regeneration. If possible, it is preferred to use other HPO terms to describe the precise phenotypic abnormalities.
