Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy [PDF]

Neurologic Clinics, 2014
This article describes the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, molecular pathogenesis, and treatment of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD).FSHD comprises two genetically distinct types that converge on a common downstream pathway of the expression of the toxic protein DUX4.

Baroreflex sensitivity in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

Physiological Reports, 2022
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), a common form of muscular dystrophy, is caused by a genetic mutation that alters DUX4 gene expression. This mutation contributes to significant skeletal muscle loss.

Therapeutic Approaches in Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy

Trends in Molecular Medicine, 2021
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is one of the most common types of muscular dystrophy, affecting roughly one in 8000 individuals. The complex underlying genetics and poor mechanistic understanding has caused a bottleneck in therapeutic development.

Anti-HMGCR myopathy mimicking facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy [PDF]

Open Medicine
Statin use can lead to various muscle-related issues, including benign creatine kinase (CK) elevations, myalgias, toxic myopathies, rhabdomyolysis, and immune-mediated necrotizing myositis (IMNM), which primarily affects older males.

A systemically deliverable lipid-conjugated siRNA targeting DUX4 as an facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy therapeutic [PDF]

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is the third most diagnosed muscular dystrophy. The disease is caused by genetic and epigenetic disruptions that result in misexpression of the germline transcription factor DUX4 in skeletal muscle, leading ...

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy [PDF]

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2012
In recent years, we have seen remarkable progress in our understanding of the disease mechanism underlying facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of our current understanding of the disease mechanism and to discuss the observations supporting the possibility of a developmental ...
