Figure 3.

SNPs and sequence variants at 4q35. 18 different 4q haplotypes have been described. FSHD patients carry D4Z4 deletions in 4qA161, 4qA159, and 4qA168 backgrounds. These genetic contexts represent a permissive condition for the disease rather than a cause given that asymptomatic carriers have been described. SSLP, simple sequence length polymorphism; TEL, telomere.
