Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy is an autosomally dominant inherited disease in which system-wide abnormalities are caused by a triplet repeat expansion within the 3' untranslated region of the myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK) gene. To determine the effect an expanded repeat region has on DMPK express...
