The localization of the gene for the majority of cases of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy is established as 4q35-qter (FSHD1A), although locus heterogeneity has been demonstrated with a minority of families unlinked to 4q. In FSHD1A, the disease is associated with a deletion of 3.3 kb repeats from a tandem repeat located near the as-yet-unidentified gene. This repeat cross-hybridizes with a telomeric...
