Abstract
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), the third most common inherited muscular dystrophy, is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by progressive weakness and wasting of the facial, shoulder-girdle, upper arm, foot extensor, and pelvic girdle muscles. FSHD is caused by contraction of the polymorphic D4Z4 repeat in the subtelomere of chromosome 4q. However, there has been no report of genetically confirmed FSHD in Korea. We report a patient with FSHD who was found to have a deletion of D4Z4 repeat on chromosome 4q35.
