FSHD Muscular Dystrophy
According to research statistics, in the world, 1 in every 8,000 people has the diseasefacial-shoulder-arm dystrophy (FSHD).
In Vietnam, it is estimated that more than 10,000 people have FSHD but the majority are still undiagnosed.

- Connect the FSHD community with doctors, experts, scientists - to have a strong fulcrum.
Global Connection
- - Free international testing registration consultation

- In Vietnam, very few people know about FSHD.
We communicate to raise social awareness so that FSHD is widely disseminated and properly understood, so that no one is left behind.
Understanding Companion
- We listen, share, and work with patients and families to adapt to FSHD, have the strength to live, and light up hope every day.
Free Diagnostic Tests
- FSHD Intensive Research Center - Dr. Peter & Takako Jones Lab (MyFSHD organization - University of Nevada, USA) have developed a worldwide accessible diagnostic method to identify the gene for facial-shoulder-arm dystrophy FSHD.
Instead of complicated and high-cost blood tests, this method uses saliva samples to analyze genetic and epigenetic characteristics, accurately diagnosing FSHD type 1 and FSHD type 2 muscular dystrophy.
You can register to receive a free test kit and get a sample to get a clearer answer about your condition.
