BackgroundFacioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is the third most common hereditary muscular dystrophy, caused by the contraction of the D4Z4 repeats on the permissive 4qA haplotype on chromosome 4, resulting in the faulty expression of the DUX4 gene. Traditional diagnostics is based on Southern blot, a time- and effort-intensive method that can be affected by single nucleotide (SNV), and copy number variants (CNV), as well as by the similarity of the D4Z4 repeats located on chromosome 1...
