Complex patterns of male germline instability and somatic mosaicism in myotonic dystrophy type 1 [PDF]
The genetic basis of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the expansion of a CTG repeat in the 3' untranslated region of DM1PK . Once into the disease range, the repeat becomes highly unstable and is biased toward expansion in both somatic and germline ...

Role of Myotonic Dystrophy Protein Kinase [DMPK] in Glucose Homeostasis and Muscle Insulin Action [PDF]
Myotonic dystrophy 1 (DM1) is caused by a CTG expansion in the 3′-unstranslated region of the DMPK gene, which encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase. One of the common clinical features of DM1 patients is insulin resistance, which has been associated

Myotonic Dystrophies: State of the Art of New Therapeutic Developments for the CNS
Myotonic dystrophies are multisystemic diseases characterized not only by muscle and heart dysfunction but also by CNS alteration. They are now recognized as brain diseases affecting newborns and children for myotonic dystrophy type 1 and adults for both

Myotonic dystrophy type 1: case report of a colombian patient [PDF]
Introducción: La distrofia miotónica es una enfermedad poco frecuente de origen genético. Se produce por aumento de repeticiones de la tripleta CTG en el gen DMPK (locus 19q13.32), o por aumento de repeticiones de CCTG en el gen ZNF9 (locus3q21.3).

Unbalance in Myotonic Dystrophy-1 may follow cervical ataxia and respond to exercise [PDF]
Patients with myotonic dystrophy-type 1 (DM-1) often fall, due to “intrinsic” mechanisms (eg legs “giving out”) for unknown reasons (Wiles CM.JNNP 2006;77:393-396). A case is presented, in which neck position sense was impaired.

IDMC-6 - The Sixth International Myotonic Dystrophy Consortium Meeting
In 1992 three groups of investigators found that myotonic dystrophy of Steinert, classical myotonic dystrophy, now known as myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), results from an unstable CTG repeat expansion in the non-coding 3’ region of serinethreonine ...
