| Research Abstract |
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is caused by truncation of 3.3-kb D4Z4 repeats on the chromosome 4q35, which is thought to have close association with epigenomic changes. In this study, we performed genome-wide methylation study by using high dense methylation array, but no specific changes were found between the patients and their healthy parents. Next, we performed specific methylation study of the disease associated genomic region of FSHD. We found negative correlation between clinical severity and DNA methylation. This affected chromosome-specific analysis is useful to elucidate pathogenesis of FSHD.
