Gene Expression Analysis in Myotonic Dystrophy: Indications for a Common Molecular Pathogenic Pathway in DM1 and DM2
1 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
An RNA gain-of-function of expanded transcripts is the most accredited molecular mechanism for myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and 2 (DM2). To disclose molecular parallels and divergences in pathogenesis of both disorders, we compared the expression profile of muscle biopsies from DM1 and DM2 patients to controls. DM muscle tissues showed a reduction in the major skeletal muscle chloride channel (CLCN1) and...
