What is FSHD?<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n
\n

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, or FSHD, is a genetic disorder that leads to the relentless<\/em> weakening of skeletal muscles. <\/p>\n

Typically beginning in early teenage years with the loss of muscles in the face (facio), shoulders (scapula), upper arms (humerus), legs or core, FSHD can spread to any muscle. Around 20 percent will need a wheelchair by age 50. Over\n 70 percent experience debilitating pain and fatigue. FSHD is estimated to affect nearly one million people worldwide. <\/p>\n
