23 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a disease characterized by errors in alternative splicing, or "mis-splicing". The causative agent of mis-splicing in DM1 is an inherited CTG repeat expansion located in the 3' untranslated region of the DM protein kinase gene. When transcribed, CUG repeat expansion RNA sequesters muscleblind-like (MBNL) proteins, which constitute an important family of alternative splicing...
