Summary:
innervation or by
primarymyopathy that can be inherited or acquired.
The genetic forms of myopathy fall into several fairly distinct clinical phenotypes
including:
➢ Muscular dystrophy
➢ Congenital myopathy.
➢ Congenital muscular dystrophy.
Depending on the type of mutation the disease may be severe such as Duchenne muscular
dystrophy, or mild like Becker dystrophy.
Acquired myopathies have diverse causes including
inflammation
andtoxic exposures
