Genetic Testing
https://musculardystrophypakistan.websites.co.in/update/genetic-testing/3018002
What is Genetic Testing? Genetic testing is a medical test that analyzes DNA to identify genetic mutations or variations that may cause or increase the risk of diseases. It helps diagnose genetic disorders, predict the likelihood of developing certain conditions, and guide treatment options. Process of Genetic Testing 1. Sample Collection – A healthcare provider collects a sample of blood, saliva, or a tissue swab (cheek swab). 2. DNA Extraction – The DNA is isolated from the sample in...

Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy LGMD
https://musculardystrophypakistan.websites.co.in/pages/limb-girdle-muscular-dystrophy-lgmd/431696
Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD) is a group of genetic muscle disorders that primarily affect the muscles around the shoulders (pectoral girdle) and hips (pelvic girdle). It leads to progressive muscle weakness and wasting over time. Types of LGMD LGMD is classified into two major categories based on inheritance patterns: 1. LGMD Type 1 (Autosomal Dominant) – Less common, passed from one affected parent. 2. LGMD Type 2 (Autosomal Recessive) – More common, inherited when both parents a...

Rare diseases are medical conditions that affect a small percentage of the population. While each rare disease may impact only a limited number of individuals, collectively, rare diseases affect millions of people worldwide. Here are some key aspects of rare diseases: Definition & Prevalence A disease is considered rare when it affects a small portion of the population. The definition varies by country: USA: Fewer than 200,000 people per disease. Europe: Less than 1 in 2,000 people. Pakis...

Muscular Dystrophies (MD)
https://musculardystrophypakistan.websites.co.in/pages/muscular-dystrophies-md/431665
Muscular Dystrophy (MD) Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness and degeneration. These disorders vary in severity, age of onset, and muscles affected. MD occurs due to genetic mutations that interfere with the production of proteins necessary for healthy muscle function. Types of Muscular Dystrophy There are several types of muscular dystrophy, including: 1. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) Most common and severe form, primar...
