Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a multisystemic disease caused by a CTG repeat expansion in the 3'-UTR of dystrophia myotonica-protein kinase. Aberrant regulation of alternative splicing is a characteristic feature of DM. Dozens of genes have been found to be abnormally spliced; however, few reported splicing abnormalities explain the phenotypes of DM1 patients. Thus, we hypothesized that other, unknown...
