Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy (DM), the most common inherited muscle disorder, is caused by a CTG expansion in the 3"-untranslated region of a protein kinase gene ( DMPK ). The complex and variable phenotype is most likely caused by a complex molecular pathogenesis, including deficiency of the DMPK protein, a trans -dominant misregulation of RNA homeostasis and haploinsufficiency of a neighboring homeobox gene [DM...
