Abstract excerpt
The myotonic dystrophies (DMs) are the most common inherited muscular disorders in adults. In most of the cases, the disease is caused by (CTG)n/(CCTG)n repeat expansions (EXPs) in non-coding regions of the genes DMPK (dystrophia myotonica-protein kinase) and CNBP (CCHC-type zinc-finger nucleic acid-binding protein).
