Cis and trans effects of the myotonic dystrophy (DM) mutation in a cell culture model
1 Oct 1999
Abstract excerpt
The mutation causing myotonic dystrophy (DM) has been identified as a CTG expansion in the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of the DM protein kinase gene ( DMPK ), but the mechanism(s) of pathogenesis remain unknown. Studies using DM patient materials have often produced confusing results. Therefore, to study the effects of the DM mutation in a controlled environment, we have established a cell culture model...
