New research identifies gene, DUX4, that hides cancer cells from immunotherapy. Over expression of DUX4 is also the cause of genetic disease, Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD). Finding a way to inhibit DUX4 would benefit early detection and more for cancer but could also eliminates FSHD.
