Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the most common form of adult muscular dystrophy, is caused by anormal expansion of CTG trinucleotide repeats located in the 3'-untranslated region of the DMPK gene. The clinical features of DM1 are multisystemic and highly variable, and the unstable nature of CTG expansion causes wide genotypic and phenotypic presentations. In this study, we described to our knowledge for the...
