Aberrantly spliced α-dystrobrevin alters α-syntrophin binding in myotonic dystrophy type 1
25 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
Background: Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a multisystemic disorder caused by a CTG repeat expansion in the DMPK gene. Aberrant messenger RNA (mRNA) splicing of several genes has been reported to explain some of the symptoms in DM1, but the cause of muscle wasting is still unknown. By contrast, many forms of muscular dystrophy are caused by abnormalities of the dystrophin–glycoprotein complex (DGC)....
