- FSHD (Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy): Symptoms
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is an inherited disease that often affects muscles in your face and upper body but can spread to any muscle in your body Symptoms typically develop between adolescence and age 20 to 30 There’s no cure for FSHD, but there are therapies to ease your symptoms and help you keep up your quality of life

- Understanding Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a genetic disease of the muscles It causes your muscles to break down and weaken over time It can develop quickly or slowly FSHD targets the muscles of the face, upper arm or shoulder blade, legs, and stomach FSHD is the third most common type of muscular dystrophy FSHD can show up at any age

- FSHD: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Management

- Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) | NHS inform
FSHD is caused by a genetic mutation which deletes some of the DNA on chromosome 4 This switches on a gene which is toxic to muscles Some people with FSHD aren’t aware they have the condition until they’re an adult FSHD progresses slowly and doesn’t usually shorten life expectancy
