ABSTRACT
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) has been shown to be related to genetic and epigenetic derepression of DUX4 (mapping to chromosome 4), a gene located within a repeat array of D4Z4 sequences of polymorphic length. FSHD type 1 (FSHD1) is associated with pathogenic D4Z4 repeat array contraction, while FSHD type 2 (FSHD2) is associated with SMCHD1 variants (a chromatin modifier gene that maps to the short arm of chromosome 18). Both FSHD types require permissive polyadenylation signal (4qA) downstream of the D4Z4 array.
