Muscular dystrophies are a group of diseases that cause muscle weakness and decreased mobility. According to the CDC, different types of muscular dystrophy affect specific groups of muscles, have a specific age when signs and symptoms are first seen, vary in how severe they can be, and are caused by mutations in different genes.
