Molecular analysis for the myotonic dystrophy mutation in neuromuscular disorders.

Abstract excerpt

A variable expansion of an unstable CTG repeat has been identified as the causal mutation for myotonic dystrophy. Standard molecular genetic techniques can now supplement traditional assessment protocols in a variety of clinical neurological situations where diagnostic uncertainty prevailed. Southern analysis using DNA probes which identify the expanded sequence, supplemented by direct PCR analysis for repeat...
