Abstract excerpt
A gene responsible for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) has been localized at 4q35. Subsequently, it was found that probe p13E-11 detects a polymorphic EcoRI fragment, usually > 28 kb, in normal individuals, whereas in sporadic and familial FSHD cases, an EcoRI fragment, usually < 28 kb, was found. Although these findings have been amply confirmed, several aspects are as yet either controversial or...
