Abstract excerpt
Myotonic Dystrophy Type I (DM1) patients demonstrate widespread and variable brain structural alterations whose etiology is unclear. We demonstrate that inactivation of the Muscleblind-like proteins, Mbnl1 and Mbnl2, initiates brain structural defects. 2D FSE T2w MRIs on 4-month-old Mbnl1+/-/Mbnl2-/- mice demonstrate whole-brain volume reductions, ventriculomegaly and regional gray and white matter volume...
