Facioscalpulohumeral muscular dystrophy is a neuromuscular disease also referred to as FSHD, FSH, FMD, and Landouzy-Dejerine muscular dystrophy. FSHD involves a wasting of the muscles that move the face (facio), shoulders (scapula), and upper arm bone (humerus). FSHD is autosomal dominant in males and females; however, there are instances (10-30% of affected individuals) of FSHD with no genetic link. There is no known cure for FSHD (Muscular Dystrophy Association, 2001).
