What is Congenital Muscular Dystrophy?

Congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD) refers to a group of genetic disorders characterized by muscle weakness and wasting, which are present at birth or become apparent shortly after. CMDs are caused by mutations in various genes that are essential for muscle function and structure. These disorders are a subset of muscular dystrophies and are distinct because of their early onset.
