Genetic and Epigenetic Characteristics of FSHD-Associated 4q and 10q D4Z4 that are Distinct from Non-4q/10q D4Z4 Homologs [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Mutation, 2014
Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) is one of the most prevalent muscular dystrophies. The majority of FSHD cases are linked to a decreased copy number of D4Z4 macrosatellite repeats on chromosome 4q (FSHD1). Less than 5% of FSHD cases have no repeat contraction (FSHD2), most of which are associated with mutations of SMCHD1.

Increasing D4Z4 repeat copy number compromises C2C12 myoblast differentiation [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2003
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is an autosomal dominant myopathy associated with deletions of a subtelomeric repeat (D4Z4). A reduction in D4Z4 copy number coincides with increased expression of neighboring 4q35 genes, implying a normal repressive role for the repeats.

Engineered SMCHD1 and D4Z4 mutations reveal roles of D4Z4 heterochromatin disruption and feedforward DUX4 network activation in FSHD

2022
Abstract Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) is commonly associated with contraction of D4Z4 repeats on chromosome 4q (FSHD1). Mutations in the SMCHD1 gene are linked to both minor cases with no prominent repeat loss (FSHD2) and severe cases of FSHD1.

Common epigenetic changes of D4Z4 in contraction-dependent and contraction-independent FSHD

Human Mutation, 2009
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), caused by partial deletion of the D4Z4 macrosatellite repeat on chromosome 4q, has a complex genetic and epigenetic etiology. To develop FSHD, D4Z4 contraction needs to occur on a specific genetic background. Only contractions associated with the 4qA161 haplotype cause FSHD. In addition, contraction of the
