Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD or FSH) is a rare genetic disease. The first symptoms (wasting and weakness of muscles in the face and upper limbs) usually appear in adolescence or adulthood. The muscle involvement in FSHD is often asymmetric and varies greatly from person to person. It is a slowly progressive disease in most cases with stable periods that vary in their duration.
