Overexpression of microRNA-206 in the skeletal muscle from myotonic dystrophy type 1 patients
20 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs are highly conserved, noncoding RNAs involved in post-transcriptional gene silencing. They have been shown to participate in a wide range of biological processes, including myogenesis and muscle regeneration. The goal of this study is to test the hypothesis that myo-miRs (myo = muscle + miR = miRNA) expression is altered in muscle from patients affected by myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1),...
