Cochlear Function in Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy

open access: yesOtology & Neurotology, 2007
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is commonly associated with high-frequency hearing impairment. Our objective was to evaluate a group of normally hearing patients with FSHD using otoacoustic emissions.Prospective, randomized clinical trial.A tertiary University-based referral center in Athens, Greece.The study group consisted of a ...

Estrogen‐Related Receptor Alpha Promotes Skeletal Muscle Regeneration and Mitigates Muscular Dystrophy

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 19, 15 October 2025.
ERRα promotes muscle regeneration. ERRα drives angiogenic and mitochondrial metabolic gene program in proliferating and differentiating myogenic cells. ERRα also induces myogenic factor genes such as MyoG. Through these pathways ERRα promotes muscle regeneration in the skeletal muscle in acute injury and chronic myopathy.

Creatine Phosphokinase in Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ, 1971
Study of the serum creatine kinase levels in young patients with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy suggests that enzyme assay may be valuable as a screening procedure for assessing the status of relatives of an affected individual who have no previous clinical history, and that consequently it may be of use in genetic counselling.
