Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

Muscle & Nerve, 2006
AbstractFacioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a dominantly inherited disorder with an initially restricted pattern of weakness. Early involvement of the facial and scapular stabilizer muscles results in a distinctive clinical presentation. Progression is descending, with subsequent involvement of either the distal anterior leg or hip‐girdle ...

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2009
Knowledge of the pathogenetic mechanisms in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy is still scattered, but has recently been advanced through novel developments on the genetic scientific front.The present brief review highlights some recent studies on the pathogenesis of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy pointing to major involvement of muscle ...

Testing for Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy with Optical Genome Mapping

Current Protocols, 2023
The introduction of optical genome mapping has improved time constraints and a lack of specificity from previous methodologies when performing genome‐wide analyses of samples.

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

Ryoikibetsu shokogun shirizu, 2001
Abstract The defining clinical features include the onset of weakness of the facial or shoulder girdle muscles, leading eventually to the wasting of these muscles (Fig. 8.1). Significant facial weakness is evident in more than half of all affected FSHD patients.

Methylation of the 4q35 D4Z4 repeat defines disease status in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.

Brain : a journal of neurology, 2022
Genetic diagnosis of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) remains a challenge in clinical practice as it cannot be detected by standard sequencing methods despite being the third most common muscular dystrophy.

Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy

Comprehensive Physiology, 2017
ABSTRACTFacioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy is a common form of muscular dystrophy that presents clinically with progressive weakness of the facial, scapular, and humeral muscles, with later involvement of the trunk and lower extremities. While typically inherited as autosomal dominant, facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) has a complex ...

Systemic manifestations and symptom burden of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy in a referral cohort

Muscle and Nerve, 2022
The full spectrum of the clinical phenotype of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), beyond skeletal muscle weakness, remains poorly characterized.

Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophies

Continuum, 2019
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a common muscular dystrophy affecting both pediatric and adult patients. This article reviews the phenotype and pathophysiology of the disease as well as the recent efforts in clinical outcome measures and clinical trials.As the name implies, FSHD involves weakness of facial muscles, muscles that fix the

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

Current Opinion in Neurology, 1999
A decade's progress in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy genetics has been marked by the discovery of novel genetic phenomena such as crossover of subtelomeric DNA between chromosomes 4 and 10 in normal individuals and by the recognition that the facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy deletion-mutation may cause a position variegation effect on ...

Home‐based gait analysis as an exploratory endpoint during a multicenter phase 1 trial in limb girdle muscular dystrophy type R2 and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

Muscle and Nerve, 2021
Limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMDR2) and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) are genetic muscular dystrophies with an increasing number of potential therapeutic approaches.
