| Summary |
The first detailed study of the clinical features, hereditary nature and pathology of muscular dystrophy is attributed to Edward Meryon, an English physician, who published his findings in 1852. Yet it was more than 130 years later that the responsible gene for the commonest form of dystrophy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, was identified and characterised. Subsequently the genes for many other forms of dystrophy have been identified, and it is estimated that there are now approaching 40 such disorders, though some of these are very rare. However once the gene for Duchenne dystrophy had been ide |
