Muscular dystrophy refers to a group of hereditary diseases characterized by progressive muscle weakness and muscular atrophy. Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Beckett muscular dystrophy are the two most common types, which mainly affect the development of skeletal muscle, leading to mobility inconvenience and myocardial weakness, and these two types of muscular dystrophy almost only occur in boys. In many cases, sick men generally inherit the dystrophic mutant gene of their mothers, because their mothers are carriers of DMD gene mutations. If both parents are normal, it may be because the patient is a new mutation, not genetic. We can make early diagnosis of disease risk through gene decoding and gene detection technology, so as to realize early detection and prevention, improve the quality of life of carriers, patients and their families, and reduce the risk of avoiding illness through conscious exercise, adjustment of diet structure and change of lifestyle. Genetic testing can be used to diagnose diseases and predict the risk of diseases. Disease diagnosis is the use of gene detection technology to detect mutant genes that cause hereditary diseases. At present, the most widely used genetic testing is the detection of neonatal hereditary diseases, the diagnosis of hereditary diseases and the auxiliary diagnosis of some common diseases. Gene diagnosis is the most commonly used diagnostic method at present, which can be used for prenatal diagnosis.
