Cardiac elav-type RNA-binding protein (ETR-3) binds to RNA CUG repeats expanded in myotonic dystrophy
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is a neuromuscular disorder associated with CTG triplet repeat expansion in the myotonin protein kinase gene ( DMPK ). We previously proposed a hypothesis suggesting that the expanded CUG repeats sequester specific RNA-binding proteins and that such a sequestration results in abnormal RNA processing of several RNAs containing CUG repeats in multiple tissues affected in patients with DM....
