Creatine phosphokinase in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

B P Hughes. Br Med J. 1971 Aug.

Abstract

Study of the serum creatine kinase levels in young patients with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy suggests that enzyme assay may be valuable as a screening procedure for assessing the status of relatives of an affected individual who have no previous clinical history, and that consequently it may be of use in genetic counselling.
