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 myotonic dystrophy patients. In this method the relative proportion of singlet to doublet hybridization signals is used...
