Abstract excerpt
Introduction. Myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by (CCTG)n repeat expansions in intron 1 of the CNBP gene. Recent evidence from long-read sequencing suggests these expansions may be more complex than previously recognized. Aim. To comprehensively characterize the composition, intergenerational dynamics, and clinical impact of novel (TCTG)n motifs within the CNBP expanded...
