IVF stem cell breakthrough gives new hope to FSHD cure
Researchers at a Sydney IVF clinic and the Australian-based FSHD Global Research Foundation have scored a global break-through, producing the first stem cell line specific to a common form of muscular dystrophy.
Facio-scapulo-humeral Dystrophy – or FSHD – is the third-most common form of muscular dystrophy, a family of hereditary muscle-wasting diseases that affect about one-in-a-thousand Australians. Using PGD (preimplantation genetic diagnosis) and stem cell derivation technology, researchers have produced the world’s first FSHD-specific stem cell line.
“This local breakthrough opens the way for drug development that may alleviate, treat or finally prevent the condition,” said Dr Tomas Stojanov, “There’s no doubt that creation of this first stem cell line is a major breakthrough.”
The discovery comes from research funded by the FSHD Global Research Foundation, an organisation set up by former Macquarie Bank Executive Director Bill Moss AM, who has FSHD.
