Abstract
The muscular dystrophies (MD) are a heterogenous group of genetically determined, variably inherited primary disorders of muscle that progress differently. The various forms can be distinguished by the combination of clinical, genetic and pathologic criteria, confirmation of the muscle biopsy should be with immunohistochemical staining rather than histological only. These and the gene deletion studies in the families have become essential diagnostic criteria.
