FSHD research continues to move forward with the generous help from the Friends of FSH Research. Dr Dan Miller at the University of Washington’s Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine, and Dr. Stephen Tapscott at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center think that one possible cause of muscle weakness in FSHD is a defect in the generation of muscle tissue that may start before birth, and persist as muscles are continually modified and repaired throughout life.

Several genes have been examined as candidates for causing FSHD, including the DUX4 homeobox gene in the D4Z4 repeat, but none have been definitively shown to cause the disease, or has the full extent of transcripts from the D4Z4 region been carefully characterized.

Research on the cause and treatment of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) might be entering a new, and hopefully better, era. For many years FSHD has been a difficult disease for medical researchers to study. In most genetic diseases, a gene with some known function is mutated and no longer performs its normal biological role. To find a treatment for such a disease, the medical researcher needs to identify therapeutic interventions that will compensate for the mutant gene.
