All, genetic: All forms of muscular dystrophy are inherited, and vary in age of onset and severity. Duchenne's a common form. Many other variations with classical pathological signs on muscle biopsy. No known cure, or actual current prevention, but in the future, amniocentesis techniques will likely reveal presence in utero. Steroids may delay wheelchair need, carnitine supplements may be useful.
