Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) exhibits highly heterogeneous clinical manifestations caused by an unstable CTG repeat expansion reaching up to 4000 CTG. The clinical variability depends on CTG repeat number, CNG repeat interruptions, and somatic mosaicism. Currently, none of these factors are simultaneously and accurately determined due to the limitations of gold standard methods used in clinical and research...
