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 expression, we have separated the chromosome 19 homologues from a 36-year-old woman with myotonic dystrophy into different...
