We were thrilled when
Dr. Tapscott became interested in FSHD research - he received our 4th 2-year $100,000 grant in August 2008. The title of his research study is "Identifying and Validataing Therapeutic Targets in Transcripts from the D4Z4 Repeat."
"The research support provided by the Pacific Northwest Friends of FSH has established an FSH research group in Seattle that is gaining international recognition for its contributions to understanding the cause of FSH. This group is focused on identifying how the mutation in the DNA causes muscle damage with the long-term goal of identifying treatments for this disease. Initial support from the Pacific Northwest Friends of FSH was instrumental in establishing this collaborative cohort of scientists and for the initial work by this group."
