[edit] I've
I've begun to expand the basic stub entry for FSHD by copying the basic outline from OCD entry. Please help me expand and complete this entry. Remember to keep entries neutral, fact-based, and to use citations and references. theflyer 14:15, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Proposed Merge
Ciotog added the merge template on 28 March 2007 suggesting that Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy be merged into this article. These articles are absolutely the same subject and should indeed be merged. Given that the other article is short, has largely duplicate info, and has had little editing (last substantive edit was on 1 Feb 2006), the merge will be simple and straightforward. I will undertake the merge this weekend unless someone disagrees. I will ensure that existing external links and references from the merged article are maintained. Ciotog has already ensured that several of the links are included in this article's infobox. Theflyer 05:54, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- Merge complete. Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy now redirects here. Theflyer 15:48, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] FSHD Conference from Boston
On July 16, a large number of researchers and patients gathered in Boston for an FSH Conference.[1] Theflyer 14:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup and to do
For clean-up and "to do" items, See Talk:Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy/to do. Theflyer 22:33, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- Removing the cleanup and to-do template as it results in odd formatting on this talk page (TOC inside the Todo template, section edits not working inside template, etc). The sub-page still exists and the single discussion there can be found at Talk:Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy/to do. Theflyer 15:50, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Types
OMIM lists two types of FSHD. The article should have a section or a component of a section that articulates addresses this issue. Theflyer 15:25, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] External links
External links on Wikipedia are supposed to be "encyclopedic in nature" and useful to a worldwide audience. Please read the external links policy (and perhaps the specific rules for medicine-related articles) before adding more external links.
The following kinds of links are inappropriate:
- Online discussion groups or chat forums
- Personal webpages and blogs
- Multiple links to the same website
- Fundraising events or groups
- Websites that are recruiting for clinical trials
- Websites that are selling things (e.g., books or memberships)
I realize that some links are helpful to certain users, but they still do not comply with Wikipedia policy, and therefore must not be included in the article. Please consider reviewing ALL of the external links in this section to present only a few links which provide the most detailed and reliable information.

[edit] Is Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy Hereditary ??
Is Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy Hereditary ??23:11, 25 February 2008 (UTC)69.157.76.64 (talk)
- Yes, as the Genetics section states, it is Autosomal dominant, which means that only one parent need carry the gene and that there is a 50/50 chance of inherenting the disease. Theflyer (talk) 20:19, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
