Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy is caused by a CTG(n) expansion in the 3'-untranslated region of a serine/threonine protein kinase gene (DMPK), which is flanked by two other genes, DMWD and SIX5. One hypothesis to explain the wide-ranging effects of this expansion is that, as the mutation expands, it alters the expression of one or more of these genes. The effects may vary in different tissues and developmental stages, but it...
