Transgenic mouse models for investigating human <i>DUX4</i> expression during development and its roles in FSHD pathophysiology
2025-08-28
Abstract excerpt
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is an autosomal dominant myopathy caused by aberrant expression of the DUX4 retrogene, and it affects skeletal muscles primarily in the face, shoulder, and limbs. In healthy individuals, DUX4 is expressed in early development and is subsequently silenced in most somatic tissues. The spatiotemporal pattern of DUX4 mis-expression beyond the cleavage stage in FSHD is po...
