The short answer is yes, absolutely.
You may be primarily thinking of sex-linked dystrophies, such as Duchenne's or Becker's Muscular Dystrophy. The gene mutations for these types of dystrophy are recessive traits located on the X chromosome. It is vastly more common in boys then in girls because boys only have one X chromosome. If they get the gene for these dystrophies on their mom's X chromosome, then they will not have another X chromosome to "mask" the trait, and thus they will get the disease.
Since girls have two X chromosomes, this is a lot rarer. Even if one X chromosome has the gene for the disease, as long as the other one doesn't, they are only a carrier, they don't actually have symptoms. There are only two ways where a girl can get a sex-linked dystrophy: if her mom is a carrier and her dad has the disease, or if her X chromosomes mutate in a way that make her have the gene on both X chromosomes.
However:
Muscular dystrophies come in dozens of types. Sex linked varieties may be among the most common, but there are plenty out there that are autosomal (i.e.: not sex-linked). Some come from autosomal recessive genes, other come from spontaneous mutations. For those types of muscular dystrophy, girls are just as likely to get them as boys.
Muscular dytrophy is not spread it is heriditary.
The muscular Dystrophy do not maintain homeostasis.
Muscular Dystrophy Association was created in 1950.
Muscular Dystrophy Campaign Trailblazers was created in 2008.
Muscular Dystrophy Family Foundation was created in 1958.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
what are the goals fo rehabilitation for someone with muscular dystrophy
Duchenne's muscular dystrophy
Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetic disorders characterized by muscle weakening and wasting, while Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a specific type of muscular dystrophy caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. DMD is the most common and severe form of muscular dystrophy, typically affecting boys and leading to progressive muscle weakness and loss of function.
Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a genetic disorder that weakens the muscles that help the body move.
muscle aches? Per a physician, they indicated muscular dystrophy which includes over 100 forms of the muscular dystrophy.
