HRES 1307 United States House · 118th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of June 20, 2024, as "World FSHD Day".

HRES 1307 is a non-binding House resolution designating June 20, 2024, as "World FSHD Day" to raise awareness about facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), a rare genetic muscle disease affecting approximately 41,487 Americans. The resolution supports efforts to improve public education about FSHD, encourage early genetic diagnosis, and advance research for treatments and cures. It directly affects FSHD patients, caregivers, and advocacy groups like the FSHD Society, which aims to develop treatments by 2025. The resolution expresses symbolic support for ongoing advocacy but does not create new laws or allocate funding.
