FSHD is an unusual genetic disorder because, unlike most genetic diseases, it is not caused by the loss of a functional gene, but rather by the modification of an existing gene, through a genetic mutation.

Washington State University researchers say environmental factors are having an underappreciated effect on the course of disease and evolution by prompting genetic mutations through epigenetics, a process by which genes are turned on and off independent of an organism's DNA sequence.

PULLMAN, Wash. — Washington State University researchers say environmental factors are having an underappreciated effect on the course of disease and evolution by prompting genetic mutations through epigenetics, a process by which genes are turned on and off independent of an organism's DNA sequence.

A study by UC Davis showed that there was a prevalence of genetic disorders in both populations (rescue and bred): «Recently derived breeds or those from similar lineages appeared to be more susceptible to certain disorders that affect all closely related purebred dogs, whereas disorders with equal prevalence in the two populations suggested that those disorders represented more ancient mutations that are widely spread through the dog population.»
