CTG repeats at the myotonic protein kinase gene in a healthy Chilean population sample.

Acta neurologica Scandinavica - 1 May 2009

Amenabar F, Jorquera H, Acuña M, Cifuentes L

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To study the variability at the myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK) gene in a Chilean sample of healthy people. DM1 is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by an expansion of a (CTG) repeat at the 3'-UTR of the gene DMPK. Healthy individuals have alleles under 35 repeats and diseased individuals have over 50. METHODS: Genotyping the number of (CTG) repeats at this gene in a sample of healthy...
