Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a genetic multisystemic disease, characterised by pleiotropic symptoms that exhibit notable variability in severity, nature and age of onset. The genetic cause of DM1 is the expansion of unstable CTG-repeats in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of the DMPK gene, resulting in the accumulation of toxic CUG-transcripts that sequester RNA-binding proteins and form nuclear...
