Myotonic dystrophy--no evidence for preferential transmission of the mutated allele: a prenatal analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Myotonic dystrophy is the commonest autosomal dominant type of muscular dystrophy in adults. It is one of the trinucleotide repeat expansion disorders, and its severity correlates with the number of CTG repeats in the myotonic dystrophy gene. It has been suggested that myotonic dystrophy exhibits the phenomenon of preferential transmission of the larger mutated alleles that has been described in other...
