Human DUX4 and mouse Dux interact with STAT1 and broadly inhibit interferon-stimulated gene induction

eLife, 2023
DUX4 activates the first wave of zygotic gene expression in the early embryo. Mis-expression of DUX4 in skeletal muscle causes facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD), whereas expression in cancers suppresses IFNγ induction of major histocompatibility ...

De novo mutations in SMCHD1 cause Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome and abrogate nasal development [PDF]

, 2017
Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome (BAMS) is an extremely rare and striking condition characterized by complete absence of the nose with or without ocular defects.

Pathomechanisms and biomarkers in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy: roles of DUX4 and PAX7 [PDF]

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2021
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is characterised by progressive skeletal muscle weakness and wasting. FSHD is linked to epigenetic derepression of the subtelomeric D4Z4 macrosatellite at chromosome 4q35. Epigenetic derepression permits the distal-most D4Z4 unit to transcribe DUX4, with transcripts stabilised by splicing to a poly(A ...

Telomere Position Effect (TPE) Regulates DUX4 in Human Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) [PDF]

, 2014
Telomeres may regulate human disease by at least two independent mechanisms. 1) Replicative senescence occurs once short telomeres generate DNA damage signals that produce a barrier to tumor progression.

Multiple protein domains contribute to nuclear import and cell toxicity of DUX4, a candidate pathogenic protein for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
DUX4 (Double Homeobox Protein 4) is a nuclear transcription factor encoded at each D4Z4 unit of a tandem-repeat array at human chromosome 4q35. DUX4 constitutes a major candidate pathogenic protein for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), the ...

DUX4 Pathological Expression: Causes and Consequences in Cancer [PDF]

Trends in Cancer, 2019
DUX4, a double homeobox transcription factor, has been mostly studied in facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD), a pathology linked to a deletion of subtelomeric repeats on chromosome 4q. More recently, however, the gene has been associated with various sarcomas and haematological malignancies.

miRNA Expression in Control and FSHD Fetal Human Muscle Biopsies [PDF]

, 2015
International audienceBackground :Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is an autosomal-dominant disorder and is one of the most common forms of muscular dystrophy. We have recently shown that some hallmarks of FSHD are already expressed in fetal

Segregation between SMCHD1 mutation, D4Z4 hypomethylation and Facio-Scapulo-Humeral Dystrophy: a case report [PDF]

, 2016
International audienceBackground: The main form of Facio-Scapulo-Humeral muscular Dystrophy is linked to copy number reduction of the 4q D4Z4 macrosatellite (FSHD1). In 5 % of cases, FSHD phenotype appears in the absence of D4Z4 reduction (FSHD2).

Conservation and innovation in the DUX4-family gene network [PDF]

Nature Genetics, 2017
Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD; MIM158900, MIM158901) is caused by misexpression of the DUX4 transcription factor in skeletal muscle. Animal models of FSHD are hindered by incomplete knowledge regarding the conservation of the DUX4 transcriptional program in other species.

CIC-DUX4 Sarcoma

Journal of Medical Sciences, 2022
CIC-DUX4 sarcoma is highly aggressive and rapidly develops lethal metastatic disease and chemoresistance. Its histology is similar to that of Ewing sarcoma and other small round cell sarcomas. Correlation with clinical data, radiological findings, pathological results (including immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ ...
