This project investigates the expression of the DUX4 gene in non-muscle tissues to understand its role in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). It aims to explore the gene's impact on various tissues and potential therapeutic approaches.
Somatic expression of the retrogene DUX4 in skeletal muscle is associated with the development of the common myopathy facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD).
As FSHD patients mainly present with muscular symptoms, research in the FSHD field has focused on unraveling the functional consequences of DUX4 expression in skeletal muscle.
Research on DUX4 expression in non-muscle tissues is limited, but increasing evidence suggests a biological function for DUX4 in somatic tissues. I aim to char…
