Diagnosis of muscle fiber degeneration involves several approaches:
- Histopathological Examination: Muscle biopsy samples are stained and examined under a microscope to identify characteristic features of degeneration. - Immunohistochemistry: Specific antibodies are used to detect proteins associated with muscle damage and regeneration. - Molecular Techniques: Genetic testing and mRNA expression studies can identify mutations and changes in gene expression linked to muscle degeneration.
