Abstract excerpt
Genetic testing of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is very important because it enables the diagnosis and indicates the severity of the disease. Mutation analysis is based on the detection of the number of CTG triplets in the 3' untranslated region of the myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK) gene. Sometimes it could be complicated by the presence of different patterns of repeat interruptions in the 5' and 3'...
