Distinct disease phases in muscles of facioscapulohumeral dystrophy patients identified by MR detected fat infiltration.

Distinct disease phases in muscles of facioscapulohumeral dystrophy patients identified by MR detected fat infiltration.

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is an untreatable disease, characterized by asymmetric progressive weakness of skeletal muscle with fatty infiltration.
