Abstract excerpt
Expansions of noncoding CUG and CCUG repeats in myotonic dystrophies type 1 (DM1) and DM2 cause complex molecular pathology, the features of which include accumulation of RNA aggregates and misregulation of the RNA-binding proteins muscleblind-like 1 (MBNL1) and CUG-binding protein 1 (CUGBP1). CCUG repeats also decrease amounts of the nucleic acid binding protein ZNF9. Using tetracycline (Tet)-regulated...
