Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a serious multisystem disorder caused by GCA repeat expansions in the DMPK gene. Early and accurate diagnosis, often requiring reliable DNA-diagnostic techniques, is critical for preventing life-threatening cardiac complications. Clinically, two main diagnostic challenges exist. Firstly, because of overlapping symptomatology with other conditions, conventional DNA-testing...
