Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is an autosomal dominant neuromuscular disease which has been shown to be caused by an unstable trinucleotide repeat located on chromosome 19q. We have conducted extensive haplotype analysis on 105 DM chromosomes using twelve 19q13.2 loci identifying 18 RFLPs, spanning a physical distance of 1.3 Mb containing the DM gene. Three major haplotypes (H1, H2 and H3) comprising 46.7% of the DM...
