Unfortunately there si no cure for this disease.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for posting the muscle biopsy report. The report is confirmatory of Muscular dystrophy.

Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease, and it continues to get worse over time. Unfortunately, there is no cure for muscular dystrophy.

However, we can expect improvement with good physiotherapy. There is no excellent medicines for this disease, however, deflazacort may provide benefit.
