Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy

Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy is also known as Landouzy-Dejerine. Affects the muscles around the eyes and mouth, and of the shoulders, upper arms and lower legs initially, with later weakness of abdominal muscles and sometimes hip muscles. Caused by a missing piece of DNA on chromosone 4, it may be inherited through either parent, or it could occur without a family history.
