Abstract excerpt
Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD), one of the most common hereditary neuromuscular disorders, is associated with a complex combination of genetic variations at the subtelomeric 4q35 locus. As molecular diagnosis relying on Southern blot (SB) might be challenging in some cases, molecular combing (MC) was recently developed as an additional technique for FSHD diagnosis and exploration of the genomic organization...
