Developmental regulators drive DUX4 expression in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy
2024-05-21
Abstract excerpt
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a progressive muscle wasting disease caused by misexpression of the Double Homeobox 4 (DUX4) transcription factor in skeletal muscle. While epigenetic derepression of D4Z4 macrosatellite repeats is recognized to cause DUX4 misexpression in FSHD, the factors promoting DUX4 transcription are unknown. Here, we show that SIX ( sine oculis ) transcription factors, crit...
