Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a complex neuromuscular disease caused by an unstable cardiotocography (CTG) repeat expansion in the DMPK gene. This disease is characterized by high clinical and genetic variability, leading to some difficulties in the diagnosis and prognosis of DM1. Better understanding the origin of this variability is important for developing new challenging therapies and, in particular, for...
