What Does X-linked Carrier Status Mean For MD Women? Have you ever wondered what it means to carry a gene linked to muscular dystrophy and how it can affect women and their families? In this informative video, we'll explain everything you need to know about X-linked carrier status and its implications.

The video also covers important topics like how this gene can be passed to children, the risks for sons and daughters, and why genetic testing and counseling are essential tools for women with a family history of muscular dystrophy. Additionally, we highlight the importance of regular health checkups, especially for heart health, to detect potential problems early.
