The discovery of an HSPB3 mutation associated with an axonal motor neuropathy using a candidate gene approach supports the notion that the small heat shock protein gene family coordinately plays an important role in motor neuron viability.

MC enables the detailed exploration of the FSHD locus and accurate diagnosis of FSHD, the first Mendelian disease to benefit from this technique. MC is also likely to be applicable to other copy number-variant or repeat expansion-associated human diseases.
