Prevalence* of FSHD estimated to be 4 per 100,000 by Orpha.net. Now estimated at 1 in 7,500

FSHD Global Research Foundation established

DUX4 is shown to be toxic to muscle cells and increased amounts of DUX4 are seen in muscle cells from

The link between reduced D4Z4 regions and increased amounts of protein from genes in that area is first described.

The DUX4 gene discovered

Identical twins are discovered who have the exact same genetic mutation, but very different symptoms.

FSHD Region Gene 1 (FRG1) is discovered beside the D4Z4
