Designed U7 snRNAs inhibit DUX4 expression and improve FSHD-associated outcomes in DUX4 overexpressing cells and FSHD patient myotubes

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) arises from epigenetic changes that de-repress the DUX4 gene in muscle. The full-length DUX4 protein causes cell death and muscle toxicity, and therefore we hypothesize that FSHD therapies should center on inhibiting full-length DUX4 expression. In this...
