| Identified Mutation |
D4Z4 REPEATS ON CHROMOSOME 4q35 (<10); Almost all patients with FSHD carry deletions of an integral number of tandem 3.3-kb repeats, termed D4Z4, on chromosome 4q35. Gabellini et al. (2002) found that in FSHD muscle, genes located upstream of D4Z4 on 4q35, including FRG1 (601278), FRG2 (609032), and ANT1 (103220), are inappropriately overexpressed. They showed that an element within D4Z4 specifically binds a multiprotein complex that mediates transcriptional repression of 4q35 genes. Gabellini et al. (2002) proposed that deletion of D4Z4 leads to the inappropriate transcriptional derepression of 4q35 genes, resulting in disease. |
| Remarks |
Clinically affected; progressive weakness of arms and legs; frequent falls; exam revealed bifacial and scapular muscle weakness, winging of the scapulae, lower limb weakness and lordosis; elevated serum CPK; myopathic change on deltoid muscle biopsy; D4Z4 repeats for this donor subject are as follows: 4q35: 3/27 copies (clinically unaffected individuals usually have >10 D4Z4 repeats on both alleles at chromosome 4q35) and 10q26: 18/39 copies |
