Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy 1; Fshd1

Description

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy is the third most common hereditary disease of muscle after Duchenne (DMD ) and myotonic (OMIM ) dystrophy. It is a highly variable disorder with weakness appearing from infancy to late life but typically in the second decade. In general, the disease initially involves the face and the scapulae followed by the foot dorsiflexors and the hip girdles. Typical features are striking asymmetry of muscle involvement from side to side and sparing of bulbar extraocular and respiratory muscles (Tawil et al., 1998).Richards et al. (2012) provided a detailed review of FSHD.See also FSHD2 (OMIM ), which is phenotypically indistinguishable from FSHD1 but not associated with contraction of the D4Z4 microsatellite repeat. Evidence suggests, however, that epigenetic changes in this region are associated with both FSHD1 and FSHD2 (Zeng et al., 2009).
