Developmental regulators drive DUX4 expression in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

Amelia Fox, Jonathan Oliva, Rajanikanth Vangipurapu, Francis M. Sverdrup

This study identifies SIX transcription factors as key regulators of DUX4 expression in FSHD muscle cells, showing they drive DUX4 transcription and are negatively regulated by DUX4 itself.
