Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by a CTG repeat expansion in the dystrophia myotonica protein kinase (DMPK) gene. The expanded CUG repeat RNA (CUGexp RNA) transcribed from the mutant allele sequesters the muscleblind-like (MBNL) family of RNA-binding proteins, causing their loss of function and disrupting regulated pre-mRNA processing. We used a DM1 heart mouse model that...
