title: X-linked and FSH dystrophies in one family.
abstract: A family is reported in which the father was affected by facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy FSHD. One son was affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The second son died at the age of 3 yr of a severe primary muscle disease and it is suggested that this was the outcome of dual expression of the two conditions.
