Targeted <i>DUX4</i> base editing improves muscle function in an iPSC-derived model of childhood-onset FSHD

2026-07-29

Abstract excerpt

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is one of the most common dominant muscular dystrophies and remains without an approved disease modifying therapy. Caused by the aberrant expression of the cytotoxic gene DUX4, FSHD is typically diagnosed in adulthood, however clinical onset in children (<18 years of age) is often associated with a more severe and rapid disease. While clinical trials are underway, a l...
