Global Directory of Diagnostic Specialists & Centers
Diagnosing Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) requires specialized clinical expertise and dedicated molecular genetic testing.
Trained FSHD clinical practitioners evaluate characteristic asymmetric facial muscle weakness (inability to whistle or puff cheeks), scapular winging (shoulder blade protuberance), humeral weakness, and abdominal muscle weakness (Beevor's sign).
Use the "Trained Diagnostic Practitioners & Labs Only" filter on this map to connect directly with certified medical geneticists and neuromuscular diagnostic specialists.
