Facial paresis as the first sign in atypical facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

نویسندگان

چکیده

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is the one of most common types dystrophy. We present a retrospective case description patient with late-onset, atypical FSHD and provide an overview clinical history, physical exam findings, diagnosis treatment FSHD. A 71-year old male subjective facial weakness dysarthria presented initially without findings paresis normal diagnostic lab work. Over time, unilateral incomplete appeared on exam, as well mild scapular winging. classically presents in muscles face, shoulder/upper arms, proximal lower extremities. Diagnosis challenging requires multidisciplinary approach, due to high variability presentation timing symptoms. supplementary video provided, demonstrating midfacial lip 71-year-old male.

Atypical phenotypes in patients with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy 4q35 deletion.

BACKGROUND Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is associated with a deletion on chromosome 4q35. Recent studies have shown that this deletion is found in patients with other phenotypes in addition to those with the classic Landouzy-Dejerine FSHD phenotype. OBJECTIVE To examine patients with atypical phenotypes and an FSHD deletion on chromosome 4q35. DESIGN Clinical characterizati...

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...

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy in the Dutch population.

Extrapolating the figures from a previous study on FSHD in a province of The Netherlands to the entire Dutch population suggests that at present a nearly complete overview is obtained of all symptomatic kindred. In 139 families, dominant inheritance was observed in 97, a pattern compatible with germline mosaicism in 6, while sporadic cases were found in 36 families. A mutation frequency of 9.6%...

Early 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...
