Analysis of the tandem repeat locus D4Z4 associated with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystropothhy
1 Jan 1994
Abstract excerpt
The sequence of the tandem repeat sequence (D4Z4) associated with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) has been determined: each copy of the 3.3 kb repeat contains two homeoboxes and two previously described repetitive sequences, LSau and a GC-rich low copy repeat designated hhspm3. By Southern blotting, FISH and isolation of cDNA and genomic clones we show that there are repeat sequences similar to D4Z4...
