Whole-muscle fat analysis identifies distal muscle end as disease initiation site in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

Communications Medicine, 2022
Heskamp et al. perform quantitative MRI analysis of end-to-end muscle fat fractions in a series of patients with facioscapulohumeral dystrophy. The authors report that disease initiation commonly occurs at the distal end of affected muscles, with wave ...

EYE PATHOLOGIES IN FACIOSCAPULOHUMERAL MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY (CASE REPORT AND LITERARY ANALYSIS)

Российский офтальмологический журнал, 2018
In addition to the classic Coats’ disease characterized by retinal vascular telangiectasias and aneurysmal dilatations surrounded by yellowish intra- and subretinal exudates and developing in somatically healthy children, Coats’-like retinal changes can ...

Human miRNA miR-675 inhibits DUX4 expression and may be exploited as a potential treatment for Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

Nature Communications, 2021
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy is a myopathy caused by aberrant de-repression of the DUX4 gene. Here, the authors show that miR-675 inhibits DUX4 expression and protects muscles from DUX4-mediated cell death when administered to mice using AAV ...

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2015
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is characterized by a typical and asymmetric pattern of muscle involvement and disease progression. Two forms of FSHD, FSHD1 and FSHD2, have been identified displaying identical clinical phenotype but different genetic and epigenetic basis.

Crystal Structure of the Double Homeodomain of DUX4 in Complex with DNA

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: Double homeobox (DUX) transcription factors are unique to eutherian mammals. DUX4 regulates expression of repetitive elements during early embryogenesis, but misexpression of DUX4 causes facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) and ...

Sarcopenic Obesity in Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
BackgroundSarcopenic obesity has been observed in people with neuromuscular impairment, and is linked to adverse health outcomes. It is unclear, however, if sarcopenic obesity develops in adults with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD ...

Reprogramming of adult human peripheral blood mononuclear cells into hiPSCs from two patients with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy type 1

Stem Cell Research, 2022
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is one of the most common muscular dystrophy. FSHD type 1 (FSHD1) is caused by multicopy contraction of D4Z4 repeats on chromosome 4q35.

DUX4-Induced Histone Variants H3.X and H3.Y Mark DUX4 Target Genes for Expression

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: The DUX4 transcription factor is briefly expressed in the early cleavage-stage embryo, where it induces an early wave of zygotic gene transcription, whereas its mis-expression in skeletal muscle causes the muscular dystrophy facioscapulohumeral ...
