Abstract excerpt
The gene responsible for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) was mapped to chromosome 4q35 by linkage analyses. Recently, the probe p13E-11 derived from the cosmid clone 13E, which has been mapped to 4qter, detected a polymorphic EcoRI fragment, usually greater than 28 kb in normal individuals. In sporadic and familial FSHD patients, a specific shorter fragment, usually smaller than 28 kb, was found to...
