Is muscular dystrophy anyones fault?
Muscular dystrophies are genetic diseases. Forms of muscular dystrophy can be passed on from generation to generation, or they can occur spontaneously in a single individual as the result of a mutation of a particular gene. In any case, they are not anyone’s fault. Genetic counseling is recommended for families of affected individuals to ascertain the carrier status of other family members so that prenatal testing can be offered.
