Abstract excerpt
The myotonic dystrophy (DM) mutation has been identified as an unstable, expanded (CTG)n repeat in the 3' untranslated region of a gene designated DM protein kinase (DMPK). Both decreased and increased levels of mutant DMPK mRNA as well as decreased levels of protein have been variously reported and invoked to explain disparate molecular bases of this dominantly inherited disease. Most recently, increased...
