Essay On Muscular Dystrophy

Muscular dystrophy is known as a muscle disorder that is not associated with central nerve abnormality. Disease is supposed to attack the muscles that lack fiber in them. The stability of the sarcolemma muscles depends upon the two main elements, these are dystrophin and dystrophin associated glycoproteins. Pathophysiology of the disease has shown that the gene of dystrophin is present on the chromosome X around the locus p21. In addition to this, there are 3685 amino acids present in this muscle. Although the dystrophin gene contributes to only 0.002% of the muscle protein but it plays a huge role in maintaining the muscle integrity and the lack of dystrophin results in the instability of the cells present in the muscles. Studies have shown that dystrophin also functions in the less active form however the functioning might not be correct because of the leakage present between the cells and the muscle tissues (Goemans et.al 2011).
