Whole exome sequencing highlights rare variants in CTCF, DNMT1, DNMT3A, EZH2 and SUV39H1 as associated with FSHD

Abstract excerpt

Introduction: Despite the progress made in the study of Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy (FSHD), the wide heterogeneity of disease complicates its diagnosis and the genotype-phenotype correlation among patients and within families. In this context, the present work employed Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) to investigate known and unknown genetic contributors that may be involved in FSHD and may represent potential...
