Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy (DM) results from the amplification of an unstable CTG repeat in the 3' untranslated region of a transcript encoding a putative serine/threonine kinase. We have analysed the amplification of the repeat and the steady state levels of the DM kinase (DMK) mRNA in tissues and cell lines from normal and congenital DM individuals. Southern blot analysis of DNA samples from a severely affected neonate...
