Congenital Phenotypes and DMPK CTG Repeat Number in Mothers and Children With Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1
2021-04-08
Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease. In DM1, the mutant allele expands during gametogenesis, and an extended CTG repeat sequence is inherited by the offspring. This often results in increased severity of DM1 symptoms in the affected offspring and may cause congenital myotonic dystrophy (CDM). This study aimed to clarify whether CTG repeat number predicts CDM in offspring. This...
