Genetic Muscular Disorders
Genetic muscular disorders are a set of illnesses caused by mutations in the human genes that lead to the disruption of muscle function. These disruptions can range from mild to severe, and can involve both voluntary and involuntary muscles. Common symptoms of genetic muscular disorders include weakness, pain, and/or atrophy of the affected muscle tissue. Genetic muscular disorders can be present at birth or cause progressive deterioration at any stage of life. They usually have no cure, but treatment may be available to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. Proper diagnosis and management of genetic muscular disorders is important to ensure individuals receive the best care and support.
