Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is caused by an expansion of a CTG repeat sequence in the 3' noncoding region of a protein kinase gene (DMPK) at 19q13.3. We used in situ hybridization to analyse the replication timing of the genomic region containing DMPK in fibroblasts and myoblasts from controls and my...
