چکیده
Introduction. The association of celiac disease and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy was not reported earlier in the literature. Case presentation. A 35-year-old woman diagnosed clinically with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy 23 years ago. In the family history patients’ mother was diagnosed with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, too. Physical examination revealed bilateral facial weakness, she had narrow smile and murmuring speech. She had low-degree atrophy of shoulder girdle muscles with left-dominated scapular winging. facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy DNA testing showed allele 1 deletion. From 2001 on, patient presented epigastrial pain, diarrhoea, weight loss. She had permanent fatigue and she was unable to do regular physical exercises, which led to the progression of muscular dystrophy. Since serological examination detected elevated tissue transglutaminase and deaminated gliadin peptide antibodies levels, and duodenal biopsy revealed subtotal villous atrophy. Celiac disease was diagnosed. She started strict gluten free diet. After 3 months of gluten free diet, patient reported the elimination of gastrointestinal symptoms, better general condition, weight gain and increased muscle strength. Conclusion. Appropriate nutrition is essential for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy patients, therefore detection and treatment of any disorders leading to malabsorption, most commonly celiac disease, are of utmost importance.

متن کاملStrength and Functional Measurement for Patients with Muscular Dystrophy
This chapter places emphasis on patients with more weakness in proximal than distal parts. The most common type of proximal muscular dystrophy is Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Due to rapid deterioration, DMD can be seen as a severe form of muscular dystrophy. Other types of proximal muscular dystrophies have a slower rate of disease progression compared to DMD, such as Beck muscular dystro...

Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) is the third most common type of muscular dystrophy after Duchenne and myotonic dystrophy with an incidence of 12 per 100,000 worldwide [1,2]. FSHD is an autosomal dominant disease with an insidious onset and development, characterized by progressive weakness and atrophy of facial, shoulder girdle and upper arm muscles [1]. Currently FSHD diagnosis is mainly...
متن کاملLinkage analysis of French families with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.
Linkage analysis was undertaken in seven French families with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). Six polymorphic DNA probes were studied, including random DNA sequences, coding sequences, and a hypervariable marker. No evidence for linkage of these probes to the disease was detected, and the results exclude probable location of the FSHD gene from three chromosomal regions (16p, prox...
