A group of genetic diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass.
In muscular dystrophies, abnormal genes (mutations) lead to muscle degeneration.
In most cases, muscular dystrophy (md) runs in families. It usually develops after inheriting a faulty gene from one or both parents. Md is caused by mutations (alterations) in the genes responsible for healthy muscle structure and function.
The signs and symptoms consistent with muscular dystrophy are:[3]

Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a group of genetic disorders that primarily affect the bones, making them extremely weak. It is also known as brittle bones disease . This genetic disease is incurable and the treatment is primarily focused on pacifying the condition by reducing pain and strengthening the bones.

The symptoms of OI include, but are not limited to, recurring fractures, bluish tinge in the white of the eyes, hearing loss, breathing problems, short height, loose joints and d...more
