The disclosure relates to methods and compositions including p38 kinase inhibitors and agents that regulate expression of DUX4 and downstream genes including but not restricted to ZSCAN4, LEUTX, PRAMEF2, TRIM43, MBD3L2, KHDC1L, RFPL2, CCNA1, SLC34A2, TPRX1, PRAMEF20, TRIM49, PRAMEF4, PRAME6, PRAMEF15, or ZNF280A. Methods useful for treating a disease associated with abnormal DUX4 and downstream gene expression (e.g., Fascioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy) are disclosed.
