Comparing gene expression data from DUX4-expressing murine satellite cell-derived myoblasts to a meta-analysis of published microarrays from FSHD patient biopsies and primary cultures (Banerji et al., 2015), we revealed a significant overlap between DUX4-expressing murine satellite cell-derived myoblasts and human FSHD muscle (Knopp et al., 2016). Here, DUX4 is linked to facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.
