Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a progressive myopathy with a relatively late age of onset (usually in the late teens) compared with Duchenne and many other muscular dystrophies. The current FSHD disease model postulates that contraction of the D4Z4 array at chromosome 4q35 leads to a more open chromatin conformation in that region and allows transcription of the DUX4 gene. DUX...
متن کاملEarly onset facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.
We report 10 patients (5 familial, 5 sporadic) with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) with onset of facial and shoulder girdle weakness in early infancy. They showed the same broad range of clinical signs and symptoms as can be seen normally in FSHD. In 7 patients Southern blotting with p13E-11 was performed which showed an abnormal EcoRI fragment (13-22 kb) in 6 of them. We conclud...
متن کاملFacioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy: The Molecular Signaling Pathway
Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is the third most common myopathy found in adults, with an overall incidence of more than 1:20000 (source: Orphanet). It is classified among progressive muscular dystrophies, characterized by muscular fiber necrosis and degeneration giving rise to progressive muscular weakness and atrophy. Weakness usual...
متن کاملGenetic counselling in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.
Clinical data are presented from a survey of 41 families with dominantly inherited facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) in which over 500 family members were examined, including 168 affected subjects. New mutation could account for six isolated cases. Results suggest that 33% of heterozygotes over 40 years are mildly affected and a majority develop significant lower limb weakness; 19% ...
متن کاملUK Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) Patient Registry
The United Kingdom (UK) Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy (FSHD) Patient Registry launched in May 2013. Funded by the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign and supported by the TREAT-NMD Alliance. This patient driven registry collects the internationally agreed core dataset, an outcome of an ENMC Workshop held in 2010 [1], through a novel online portal (http://www.fshd-registry. org/uk). Genetic details are ...
