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...
