Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy: incomplete suppression of a retrotransposed gene. [PDF]
Each unit of the D4Z4 macrosatellite repeat contains a retrotransposed gene encoding the DUX4 double-homeobox transcription factor. Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) is caused by deletion of a subset of the D4Z4 units in the subtelomeric region of ...

Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells Express the DUX4 Protein: A Basis for Further Vascular Research [PDF]
Objective: A growing body of evidence suggests a correlation between endothelial cell dysfunction and cancer, as well as facioscapulohumeral dystrophy, both of which are DUX4-related diseases. However, the endogenous expression of DUX4 within endothelial

The UK myotonic dystrophy patient registry: facilitating and accelerating clinical research [PDF]
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the most frequent muscular dystrophy worldwide with complex, multi-systemic, and progressively worsening symptoms. There is currently no treatment for this inherited disorder and research can be challenging due to the ...

Abstract figure legend Fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are cells resident in the muscle (skeletal and cardiac) niche. FAPs are active participants in the process of muscle degeneration in cardiovascular and neuromuscular diseases. Here, the accumulation of fatty and fibrous tissue is a hallmark.

Analyzing Pain Medication Use and Adherence in Patients with Myotonic Dystrophy and Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy [PDF]
Objectives: Myotonic dystrophy (DM) and facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) are two of the most common muscular dystrophies in adults. It has been reported that patients with these two disorders may suffer from pain and inadequate pain management.
