Abstract excerpt
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is caused by the shortest alleles of the 3.3kb-tandem repeat array D4Z4 at 4q35. Molecular diagnosis of FSHD depends upon the separation of unusually large alleles by pulse-field electrophoresis after EcoRI and EcoRI/BlnI digestion. The exact number of alleles could not however be directly inferred from the size of DNA fragments owing to polymorphisms in the telomeric...
