Abstract excerpt
In myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), triplet repeat expansion in the 3' untranslated region of dystrophia myotonica protein kinase (DMPK) causes the nuclear retention of mutant messenger RNA (mRNA). Although the DMPK gene locus positions precisely at the outer edge of a factor-rich SC-35 domain, t...
