Introduction: Reported frequencies of cardiomyopathy in limb girdle muscular dystrophy R9 (LGMDR9) vary. We describe the frequency and age at onset of cardiomyopathy in an LDMDR9 cohort.
Methods: Echocardiograms from 56 subjects (157 echocardiograms) with LGMDR9 were retrospectively reviewed.
Objective: To describe the hearing loss in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) and examine the relationship to genotype.
Methods: Medical records of all individuals with FSHD seen at the University of Iowa neuromuscular clinic between July 2006 and July 2012 (n = 59) were reviewed. Eleven had significant hearing loss and no non-FSHD cause.
