Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) is caused by decreased epigenetic repression of the D4Z4 macrosatellite array and recent studies have shown that this results in the expression of low levels of the DUX4 mRNA in skeletal muscle. Several other mechanisms have been suggested for FSHD pathophysiolog...

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a progressive neuromuscular disorder caused by contractions of repetitive elements within the macrosatellite D4Z4 on chromosome 4q35. In order to develop mRNA-based biomarkers of affected muscles, we used GeneChip Gene 1.0 ST arrays for global analysi...

Muscle biopsies from biceps and deltoid were taken from 5 patients with FSHD, 5 asymptomatic carriers and 5 normal controls. The genome-wide expression patterns were compared using Affymetrix U133 Plus 2.0 chips. Keywords: Facioscapulohumeral, FSHD, muscular dystrophy Gene expression profiles were ...

Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) is one of the most common inherited muscular dystrophies. The causative gene remains controversial and the mechanism of pathophysiology unknown. Here we identify genes associated with germline and early stem cell development as targets of the DUX4 transcription f...

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is an autosomal dominant disorder linked to contractions of the D4Z4 repeat array in the subtelomeric region of chromosome 4q. By comparing genome-wide gene expression data from muscle biopsies of patients with FSHD to those of 11 other neuromuscular dis...

RNA from skeletal muscle of mice over-expressing selectively in the skeletal muscle the gene FRG1, a candidate of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, was compared to RNA from skeletal muscle of WT mice. Total RNA obtained from isolated vastus lateralis muscles of 4 weeks old females WT mice and ...

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is caused by a complex epigenetic mechanism finally leading to the misexpression of DUX4, a transcription factor normally silenced in skeletal muscle. Detecting DUX4 in skeletal muscle and quantifying disease progression in FSHD is extremely challenging,...

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is an inherited progressive neuromuscular disorder that afflicts both children and adults regardless of gender. FSHD is caused by aberrant gain of expression of the transcription factor DUX4, which triggers a pro-apoptotic transcriptional program leading...

The specific gene(s) responsible for FSHD phenotype have not yet been identified. We used the Human GeneChip Exon 1.0 ST platform to analyze the global gene expression profiles of FSHD-1, FSHD-2 and controls during myogenic differentiation. In this dataset, we include the expression data of human pr...
