Abstract excerpt
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is caused by a highly structured RNA repeat expansion, r(CUG) exp, harbored in the 3′ untranslated region (3′ UTR) of dystrophia myotonica protein kinase ( DMPK ) mRNA and drives disease through a gain-of-function mechanism. A panel of low-molecular-weight fragments capable of reacting with RNA upon UV irradiation was studied for...
