This study outlines the molecular DNA findings derived from 12 separate prenatal diagnoses offered to families with a history of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy. A high risk of the fetus being affected was identified in five pregnancies. Several practical problems are discussed, particularly
## Abstract Although the molecular defect of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is well established and involves the contraction of the polymorphic 3.3 kb D4Z4 repeat on the subtelomeric region of chromosome 4q35, the pathologic effects of this deletion remain largely unknown. As a conse
Extrapolating the figures from a previous study on FSHD in a province of The Netherlands to the entire Dutch population suggests that at present a nearly complete overview is obtained of all symptomatic kindred. In 139 families, dominant inheritance was observed in 97, a pattern compatible with germ
