Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy results from a trinucleotide repeat expansion between the myotonic dystrophy protein kinase gene (Dmpk), which encodes a serine-threonine protein kinase, and the Six5 gene, which encodes a homeodomain protein. The disease is characterized by late bursts of skeletal muscle Na channel openings, and this is recapitulated in Dmpk -/- and Dmpk +/- murine skeletal muscle. To test whether deficiency...
