This largest-to-date mosaic FSHD cohort exhibited significant clinical heterogeneity and relatively slight disease severity. We also demonstrated that both genotypic severity scale and D4Z4 hypomethylation status served as modifiers of clinical phenotypes. Consistent with previous reports, mitotic interchromosomal\/intrachromosomal gene conversion without crossover was here identified as a major genetic mechanism underlying these mosaic FSHD patients.
