Abstract excerpt
A gene for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) has been linked to chromosome 4q35 in families with the disease. We have used recently characterized p13E-11/D4S809 probes that map near or within the FSHD gene to investigate eight sporadic cases of FSHD whose parents showed no signs of disease. Probe p13E-11/D4S809 detected novel DNA fragments in seven of the eight sporadic FSHD individuals and not in the...
