 It has been suggested that muscular dystrophy is the result of a mutation in the genes that program critical proteins for muscle integrity, such as dystrophin

 Dystrophin is found not only in skeletal muscle but also in the smooth and cardiac muscles, and also in the brain

 The pattern of inheritance is variable:Sex‐linked muscular distrophies – Duchenne, Becker, Emery–DreifussAutosomal dominant – facioscapulohumeral, distal, ocular, oculopharyngealAutosomal recessive – limb‐girdle form
