Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is caused by expansion of the CTG trinucleotide repeat in the DMPK gene. Our study focuses on the effect of recently described unusual sequence interruptions inside the CTG tract on conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and triplet repeat primed PCR (TP-PCR) amplifications, which are the methods now widely used in molecular testing for DM1. For molecular characterization of...
