[Molecular genetics of myotonic dystrophy--population genetics of the CTG repeat expansion of the MTPK gene].

Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine - 1 Dec 1997

Yamagata H, Miki T, Ogihara T

Abstract excerpt

The CTG repeat number in the 3'-untranslated region of the myotonin protein kinase (MTPK) gene varies between 5 and 37 in normal individuals, whereas myotonic dystrophy (DM) patients have expansions from 50 to 3000 copies. However little is known about the molecular mechanisms or the genetic control of the expansion of triplet repeats. To explain the dynamic mutation mechanism and high prevalence in the...
