Muscular Dystrophy, Facioscapulohumeral
0.600 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, known in genetic forms FSHD1 and FSHD2, is associated with D4Z4 repeat array chromatin relaxation and somatic derepression of DUX4 located in D4Z4. 30281091 2018

Muscular Dystrophy, Facioscapulohumeral
0.600 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Together with the conservation of the DUX4 ORF for >100 million years, this strongly supports a coding function for D4Z4 and necessitates re-examination of current models of the FSHD disease mechanism. 17668377 2007
Muscular Dystrophy, Facioscapulohumeral
0.600 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE The aim of our study was to identify relationships between epigenetic parameters correlating with a relaxed chromatin state of the DUX4 promoter region and clinical severity as measured by a clinical severity score or muscle pathologic changes in D4Z4 contraction-dependent (FSHD1) and -independent (FSHD2) facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy patients. 22522912 2012
Muscular Dystrophy, Facioscapulohumeral
0.600 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE A number of candidate FSHD genes, adenine nucleotide translocator 1 gene (ANT1), FSHD-related gene 1 (FRG1), FRG2 and DUX4c, upstream of the D4Z4 array (FSHD locus), and double homeobox chromosome 4 (DUX4) within the repeat itself, are upregulated in some patients, thus suggesting an underlying perturbation of the chromatin structure. 19607661 2009
Muscular Dystrophy, Facioscapulohumeral
0.600 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE FSHD results from a unique combination of genetic and epigenetic changes on 4q35 leading to release of repression of DUX4, causing disease in a toxic gain-of-function manner. 21734574 2011
Muscular Dystrophy, Facioscapulohumeral
0.600 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Most of the recent FSHD studies have been focused on a DUX4 transcript inside D4Z4 and its tandem contraction in FSHD patients. 26184877 2015

Muscular Dystrophy, Facioscapulohumeral
0.600 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a dominantly-inherited progressive muscular dystrophy caused by de-repression of the DUX4 gene, which causes disease by a toxic-gain-of-function. 31506080 2019
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy 1a
0.330 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE The genetic cause of FSHD1 is contraction of the D4Z4 macrosatellite array on chromosome 4 alleles associated with a permissive haplotype causing infrequent sporadic expression of the DUX4 gene. 30122154 2018
