17. Findings show CIC-DUX4 sarcomas occur mostly in young adults within the somatic soft tissues, having a wide spectrum of morphology including round, epithelioid and spindle cells, and associated with an aggressive clinical course, with an inferior survival compared with Ewing sarcoma.

24. data shows that DUX4 can become an oncogenic driver as a result of somatic chromosomal rearrangements and that acute lymphoblastic leukemia in adolescents and young adults may be a clinical entity distinct from ALL at other ages PMID: 27019113
25. We show that a DUX4 minigene, bearing only the homeodomains and C-terminus, is transcriptionally functional and cytotoxic, and that overexpression of a nuclear targeted C-terminus impairs the ability of WT DUX4 to interact with p300 and to regulate target genes. PMID: 26951377
26. The aim of this study was to describe seven cases of CIC-DUX4 fusion-positive sarcomas, including the first reported example arising primarily in bone. Our series confirms that CIC-DUX4 fusion-positive sarcomas are aggressive tumours with an adverse prognosis PMID: 27079694

35. This feedback loop illustrates an unexpected mode of autoregulatory behavior of a transcription factor, is consistent with 'bursts' of DUX4 expression in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy muscle. PMID: 25564732
36. These findings demonstrate that the expression of DUX4 accounts for the majority of the gene expression changes in facioscapulohumeral dystrophy skeletal muscle together with an immune cell infiltration. PMID: 24861551
