Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) is a dominant inherited disorder clinically similar to myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) with a peculiar pattern of multisystemic phenotypic features. The mutation responsible for DM1 is a CTG repeat in the 3' UTR of the dystrophia myotonica protein kinase gene (DMPK) on chromosome 19q13.3, while DM2 is caused by an unstable CCTG expansion in intron 1 of the zinc finger protein 9...
