Jessica Christine de Greef werd geboren op 14 april 1981 te Rotterdam. Ze behaalde haar gymnasium diploma in 1999 aan het Marnix Gymnasium te Rotterdam.

Aansluitend is zij met de studie Biomedische Wetenschappen aan de Universiteit van Leiden begonnen, waar ze in 2002 haar Bachelor diploma behaalde en in 2004 haar Master diploma cum laude behaalde.

Gedurende de Master fase werden twee onderzoeksstages uitgevoerd. Bij de afdeling Medische Farmacologie van het Leiden/Amsterdam Center for Drug Research (LACDR) werd onder begeleiding van dr. IEM de Jong, Prof. dr. MS Oitzl en Prof.

dr. ER de Kloet onderzoek gedaan naar “The influence of maternal deprivation on the dopaminergic system of the mouse”. Vervolgens heeft zij haar afstudeerstage getiteld “Epigenetic causes of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy” uitgevoerd bij de afdeling Humane Genetica van het Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum onder begeleiding van dr. T Rijkers, Prof. dr. ir. SM van der Maarel en Prof. dr. RR Frants.

In september 2004 is zij begonnen als assistent in opleiding bij de afdeling Humane Genetica op het onderwerp “Studies of the epigenetic disease mechanism in FSHD”

onder supervisie van Prof. dr. ir. SM van der Maarel en Prof. dr. RR Frants. Het daar uitgevoerde onderzoek staat beschreven in dit proefschrift. Sinds januari 2009 is zij werkzaam als postdoctoraal onderzoeker bij deze afdeling op het project “The role of H3K9me3 and HP1a loss in the pathogenesis of FSHD”.

Interestingly, the chromatin structure of the p13E-11 region just upstream of D4Z4 is different from the remainder of the D4Z4 repeat array [10, 30] and this open

The studies described in this thesis were performed at the department of Human Genetics, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands and were financially supported

Further, histone H4 acetylation levels at the p13E-11 region immediately proximal to D4Z4 were similar to those observed in the 5’ regions of the FSHD candidate genes FRG1

Methods: In order to identify the gene defect and to find the pathogenetic epigenetic pathway in phenotypic FSHD, we have aimed to identify the differences and commonalities

The failure to detect H3K9me3 at D4Z4 is not due to an insufficient number of D4Z4 copies since the ChIP signals were normalized to input DNA to reflect D4Z4 repeat number changes,
