Mice lacking MBNL1 and MBNL2 exhibit sudden cardiac death and molecular signatures recapitulating myotonic dystrophy
10 May 2022
Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is caused by expansions of C(C)TG repeats in the non-coding regions of the DMPK and CNBP genes, and DM patients often suffer from sudden cardiac death due to lethal conduction block or arrhythmia. Specific molecular changes that underlie DM cardiac pathology have been linked to repeat-associated depletion of Muscleblind-like (MBNL) 1 and 2 proteins and upregulation of CUGBP, Elav-like...
