Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy
Comprehensive Physiology, 2017ABSTRACTFacioscapulohumeral 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 ...

Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy: the muscular dystrophies
2001Abstract Sweden, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Taiwan, United Kingdom, United States, Uzbekistan, Uruguay and Yugoslavia. However, OPMD is particularly prevalent in the French–Canadian population (1 1000) and in Bukhara Jews living in Israel (1: 600) (Blumen et al. 1997; Brais et al. 1995).

Oculopharyngeal Muscular Dystrophy
Seminars in Neurology, 1999Autosomal dominant oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is an adult-onset disease with worldwide distribution. It usually presents in the fifth or sixth decades with progressive dysphagia, eyelid ptosis, and proximal limb weakness. Unique intranuclear filament inclusions in skeletal muscle fibers are its morphological hallmark. Surgical correction

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 1991
Progress in understanding the role of dystrophin raises promising hopes for a treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In addition, great improvements have been made in the ability to diagnose this disease using simple molecular methods.

Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of muscle weakness disease involving in inherited genetic conditions. MD is caused by mutations or alteration in the genes responsible for the structure and functioning of muscles. There are many different types of MD which have a wide range from mild symptoms to severe disability.

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2001
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is not treatable; there is no cure. More than a decade ago, randomized trials demonstrated that oral steroid therapy was of benefit to DMD patients by prolonging ambulation. Although few significant side effects were reported, study patients were followed for 18 months or less. However, when treating DMD with steroids,

What is Duchenne muscular dystrophy? Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a muscle-wasting condition caused by the lack of a protein called dystrophin. It usually affects only boys. About 100 boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy are born in the UK each year and there are about 2,500 boys and young men known to be living with the condition in the UK at any ...

Congenital Muscular Dystrophies
Neurologic Clinics, 1988The congenital muscular dystrophies are a group of genetic myopathies characterized by hypotonia, weakness, or arthrogryposis at birth. Classification is inadequate and based entirely upon phenotypic expression, because a genetic marker has not been identified in any of these disorders.
