In 1901, biologist Karl Landsteiner classified human blood based on the presence or absence of antigens in blood cells called ABO blood groups. There are about 400 types of antigens in the human body. About 30 of them are known. Humans have 21 blood groups based on antigens. ABO blood group is divided into four groups. namely-

1. A group: 23% of blood is A group.
2. B group: 35% of blood is B group.
3. AB Group: 8% of blood is AB group.
4. O group: 34% of blood is O group. (The German word Ohme comes from O meaning zero)

A cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy has not yet been discovered. According to the Lancet journal, this disease can be cured by gene therapy. Medicines such as mexiletine, baclofen, carbamazepine etc. are used in this disease.

1. Leg and thigh muscles are stiff and swollen
2. Heart and lung problems
3. The spine is curved
4. Bones are deformed
5. Decreased sense of power
6. The patient gradually becomes disabled
7. The patient cannot stand or walk upright
8. The patient is paralysed.
9. Affected individuals lose normal mobility within 10 years and die within 20 years.

DMD is caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene on the human X chromosome. Dystrophin protein is not produced when the dystrophin gene is mutated. In the absence of this protein, the muscles do not become strong. As a result, the patient becomes disabled due to muscle weakness.

DMD stands for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. It is a hereditary disease. Mutations in the dystrophin gene, located on the human X chromosome, cause erog. Ergo is due to malnutrition

Muscles slowly atrophy and wither and eventually the person dies. Erog is named after the French neurologist Guillaume Benjamin Amand Duchenne. DMD affects one in 35,000 newborns in the UK.

1. Abnormalities occur in the heart, digestive system and nervous system
2. Disturbances in the secretion of endocrine glands
3. Complications occur in the eyes and brain
4. Speech and intelligence decrease
5. Decreased vision and mobility
6. The spine bends.

1. Muscles become weak and wasted.
2. Incoordination in muscles.
3. Eyelids droop.
4. The spine is curved.
5. Joint contracture occurs.
6. Difficulty walking.
7. Breathing problems.
8. Cardiomyopathy and arrhythmia occur in the heart.
9. Muscle spasms occur.
10. Mental abnormalities occur.
11. Baldness on the forehead.
12. Cataracts in the eyes.
13. Genital atrophy.

Muscular dystrophy is a fatal genetic disease. Lack of protein (malnutrition) causes muscles to become weak or useless. There are more than 30 muscular dystrophies. 9 of them are more deadly. Some of the major muscular dystrophy diseases are-

1. Duchenne muscular dystrophy
2. Meiotic dystrophy
3. Limb Girdle Dystrophy
4. Meiotic dystrophy
5. Facio scapula humeral dystrophy
