Immune infiltrates and fat degeneration in FSHD muscles at 1 year. The graphs show the a BDCA1+ (without progression n = 24, with progression n = 4), b CD8+ (without progression n = 22, with progression n = 4), c CD20+ (without progression n = 23, with progression n = 4) and d CD4+ (without progression n = 23, with progression n = 4) cells/mm2 in FSHD muscle sections without (orange framed bar) and with (burgundy framed bar) changes in fatty infiltration on T1w sequences at the 1-year MRI follow-up. The results are reported as mean ± SD and were compared using Mann–Whitney test (*p < 0.05 **p < 0.01)
