Muscular Dystrophy (MD) is a group of muscle diseases that weaken the musculoskeletal system
The main cause : the muscle tissue's cytoskeletal impairment to properly create the functional protein dystrophin

another condition, such as spina bifida, cerebral palsy, spinal muscular atrophy, or physical trauma).
A lesser known underlying cause of scoliosis could be attributed to a condition called Chiari malformation. Recent longitudinal studies reveal that the most common form of the condition, late-onset idiopathic scoliosis, is physiologically harmless and self-limiting even without treatment.
Allergic Disease
Increased serum total IgE is not a sensitive test and is of limited clinical value but extreme values may be helpful :
Very low levels(<50ug/L) help exclude atopic disease but not IgE sensitivity to special allergens such as penicillin or Hymenoptera venoms.
If level is >900ug/L, atopic disease is likely but tests for specific allergens are needed.
