For example, we quantified MYOM1 expression by qRT-PCR (Table 1), and, according to the microarray data, the muscle-associated myomesin genes, MYOM1, MYOM2, and MYOM3 were all downregulated in expression in FSHD vs. control myotubes (FC = - 8.9, -8.1, and -3.8, respectively, each p < 0.0005). Here, MYOM3 is linked to facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.
