Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy Cell and Tissue Core

URL: http://www.umassmed.edu/wellstone/cores/

The University of Massachusetts Wellstone Center maintains a repository of biomaterials collected from facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy patients and unaffected relatives. It can provide characterized facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy cells and control muscle cells to labs studying facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy or other muscular dystrophies.
