<i>MSH2</i> knock-down shows CTG repeat stability and concomitant upstream demethylation at the <i>DMPK</i> locus in myotonic dystrophy type 1 human embryonic stem cells
2020-09-25
Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is caused by expansion of a CTG repeat in the DMPK gene, where expansion size and somatic mosaicism correlates with disease severity and age of onset. While it is known that the mismatch repair protein MSH2 contributes to the unstable nature of the repeat, its role on other disease-related features, such as CpG methylation upstream of the repeat, is unknown. In this study, we inves...
