  • Title: Pearls in the junk: dissecting the molecular pathogenesis of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.
    Author: Dmitriev P, Lipinski M, Vassetzky YS.
    Journal: Neuromuscul Disord; 2009 Jan; 19(1):17-20. PubMed ID: 18974002.
    Abstract:
    Despite the discovery of the deletion on the long arm of the chromosome 4 specific for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), the identity of the gene responsible for the disease still remains a mystery. In this review we focus on two genes, DUX4 and DUX4c, encoded by the D4Z4 repeats present in the 4q35 locus, which is affected in the disease.
