Is it possible for little girls to get muscular dystrophy and how do they test for it?

Yes...: Muscular dystrophy (md) is a group of inherited muscle diseases. Most patients with md are boys, but some forms affect girls also. For instance fascioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy occurs in both boys and girls. A daughter of a dad with duchenne muscular dystrophy (dmd) and a mom who is a carrier will have dmd. Diagnosis for md involves muscle biopsy, electrodiagnostic tests, and dna analysis.
