The ICD-10 Code for muscular dystrophy is G71. 0.
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a rare genetic muscle disease that affects the muscles of your child's face, shoulders, upper arms, and lower legs. These muscles weaken and shrink (atrophy). Symptoms usually appear before 20 years of age.
ICD-10 code G71. 01 for Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy is caused by genetic changes involving the long (q) arm of chromosome 4. Both types of the disease result from changes in a region of DNA near the end of the chromosome known as D4Z4.
FSHD is divided into two types based on the genetic cause. Type 1 accounts for 95 percent—or more than nine in ten—people with FSHD. Type 2 affects only 5 percent—or fewer than one in twenty—people with FSHD. More is known about type 1 than type 2.
There are 9 types of muscular dystrophy, with each type involving an eventual loss of strength, increasing disability, and possible deformity. The most well known of the muscular dystrophies is Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), followed by Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD).
Both Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy are caused by mutations in a protein called dystrophin. In Duchenne muscular dystrophy, functioning dystrophin is completely absent in muscle, while in Becker muscular dystrophy, there is some dystrophin present, although not enough for completely normal muscle function.
LGMD is a genetic disorder that is inherited as either an autosomal recessive or dominant trait. The autosomal recessive forms are estimated to account for 90 percent of cases.
The muscular dystrophies (MD) are a group of inherited genetic conditions that gradually cause the muscles to weaken, leading to an increasing level of disability. MD is a progressive condition, which means it gets worse over time.
Today, the most reliable way to diagnose FSHD is with a test for a tiny missing section of DNA on chromosome 4. A commercial genetic test for FSHD detects shortening of the repeated DNA elements (D4Z4) located within the 4q35 region of chromosome 4.
Signs & Symptoms FSHD may initially involve weakness of muscles of the face, shoulder girdle and arms. Facial weakness may result in limited movements of the lips, causing difficulties whistling, using a straw, or puckering the lips. Affected individuals may also develop a distinctive “mask-like” facial appearance.
Life expectancy is not affected, although death can rarely be attributed to respiratory insufficiency due to FSHD.
Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy. Restrictive lung disease due to muscular dystrophy. Restrictive lung mechanics due to muscular dystrophy. Clinical Information. A group of autosomal recessive and less frequently autosomal dominant muscular dystrophies affecting the muscles of the hips and shoulders.
Examples include duchenne muscular dystrophy, becker's muscular dystrophy, emery-dreifuss muscular dystrophy, facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. A heterogeneous group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive muscular atrophy and muscle weakness beginning in the hands, the legs, or the feet.
General term for a group of inherited disorders which are characterized by progressive degeneration of skeletal muscles. Muscular dystrophy (md) refers to a group of more than 30 inherited diseases that cause muscle weakness and muscle loss.
A heterogeneous group of inherited myopathies, characterized by wasting and weakness of the skeletal muscle. They are categorized by the sites of muscle weakness; age of onset; and inheritance patterns. A heterogenous group of inherited muscular dystrophy that can be autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive.
A group of genetic degenerative muscle disorders affecting the muscles of the lower arms, hands, lower legs, and feet. A group of inherited progressive muscle disorders characterized by muscle weakness and eventual death of the muscle tissues. Examples include duchenne muscular dystrophy, becker's muscular dystrophy, ...
G71.0 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM G71.0 became effective on October 1, 2020. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of G71.0 - other international versions of ICD-10 G71.0 may differ.
Most people with md eventually lose the ability to walk. There is no cure for muscular dystrophy. Treatment s include physical and speech therapy, orthopedic devices, surgery and medications.
Distal muscular dystrophy (or distal myopathy) is a group of disorders characterized by onset in the hands or feet. Many types involve dysferlin, but it has been suggested that not all cases do.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 359.1 was previously used, G71.0 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
