Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy

Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy (FSHD), also called Landouzy-Dejerine, is due to a modification of structure on a small region of chromosome 4, the D4Z4 region. It occurs with a muscular weakness affecting muscles of the face, shoulders, and arms, usually during adolescence or adulthood.
