Male In Girdles Movies Can Anyone Help Me Find Statistics On Muscular Dystrophy?

Can anyone help me find statistics on Muscular Dystrophy? - male in girdles movies

I have to find (estimate) to:
# The dead and affected by muscular dystrophy. I would say that at least only in the United States.
I have 4 main types and an estimate of minor importance, but I'm not sure if these numbers are correct: 1 in 30,000 people Duchenne, Becker, 1 in 3500 men from the ends in the few thousands of Gaza and Duchenne 1 to 20,000.

Hello! You can help a little .. my friend of 7 years, the girdle muscular dystrophy, so I did a little research on themselves ..

Although Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS), Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease has symptoms similar to muscular dystrophy, due to its cause, they are not classified as muscular dystrophy. Effects on the motor neurons and nerves that control the muscles is crumbling, and, while dystrophies are caused by muscle cells.

According to the site of muscular dystrophy, the UK there are approximately 60,000 people in the United Kingdom with muscular dystrophy and related diseases.

The official "forms of muscular dystrophy include: --

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)
Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD)
Limb-girdle muscular Dustrophy (DMC)
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD)
Congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD)
Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD)
Facio scapulohumeral dystrophy humerus (FSHMD)
Distal muscular dystrophy
Fukuyama muscular dystrophy (almost exclusively found in Japan)

The conditions, which are readily myopathy, myotonia and muscle weakness and spinal muscular atrophy.

I have some information on the incidence of DM in the population, but can not in any logical order .. sorry! I'll put in the form of a point.

See also http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/m/musdys/p http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/m/musdys/s ... and ... - These pages have extrapolated the data, you should be cautious, but it might be useful!

* Duchenne muscular dystrophy (the "deadly" form of MD) occurs in approximately 1 of 3200 male births. The risk of non-inherited form of DMD is 1 in 12,000. Approximately 1 / 3 of all cases are not genetically dystrophy. Approximately 70-80% of female carriers can be identified, and the ability to identify a female carrier is better, the smaller the child, if you want to test.

* In Australia - the impact of "Muscular" is estimated at 100 per 100,000 HEAd population. Based on the current (1995), is more than 20,000 people in Australia who have appreciated some kind of neuromuscular diseases. The incidence of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is estimated as 1 in 4,000 live births is by far the most common neuromuscular diseases.

* There is no part of the world where the MD is more often than the others.

* DMD and BMD is monogenic diseases that have a defective recessive gene on the X chromosome causes two and therefore occurs much more frequently in men than in women. This is due to two faulty chromosomes must be present for the disease to occur in women, while only a need for men. The onset of DMD is approximately one in 3,500 people, while BMD is much less widespread, with the presence of men in the 20 000th (http://genome.wellcome.ac.uk/doc_wtd0208 ...

* Type 500 and 600 males born with muscular dystrophy diagnosed each year in the United States, Duchenne and Becker.

* Muscle dystophies are the most common form ofreditary disease. The most common form of muscular dystrophy Duchenne muscular dystrophy is followed by Facioscapulohumeral and myotonic. The incidence is approximately as follows:
DMD: 1 at 3,300 live births
BMD: 1 in 18,000 live births
Myotonic dystrophy: 1 per 10 000 births
FSHMD: The prevalence of 1 in 20000

* 2008 An analysis of rare diseases contained FSH as the most common form of MD 7 / 100, 000 .- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facioscapul ...

Hope that helps a little .. Good luck! I know that some statistics are contradictory, but they can make it!
