We have pointed out previously1, 2 that there are two easily identified groups of patients with progressive muscular dystrophy—the facioscapulohumeral and the childhood types—and that patients having a typical pattern of muscular atrophy fit well into one of these two groups with only an occasional exception.We have already described in detail3the...Bibliography1.
