Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics of gene structure in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD)-related 4q35 subtelomere, to analyze the distribution of 2 alleles (4qA and 4qB) distal to D4Z4 of this locus, and to further elucidate the genotype-phenotype correlation in Chinese Han FSHD patients. METHODS: Peripheral blood samples were collected from 52 unrelated families including 62 FSHD-affected...
