Different molecular signatures in magnetic resonance imaging-staged facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy muscles.

BACKGROUND: Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is one of the most common muscular dystrophies and is characterized by a non-conventional genetic mechanism activated by pathogenic D4Z4 repeat contractions. By muscle Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) we observed that T2-short tau inversion r...
