Distrofia Miotônica Tipo 1: Frequência Dos Achados Oftalmológicos [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the frequency of ophthalmologic abnormalities in a cohort of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) patients and to correlate them with motor function.

Effect of artificial (CTG) repeat expansion on the expression of myotonin protein kinase (MtPK) in COS-1 cells

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 1996
A major challenge in the study of a new genetic entity called triplet-repeat disease is to identify the role of triplet repeats in the pathogenesis of the disease. We have developed a strategy to demonstrate the effect in the 3'-untranslated end of the (CTG) repeats in myotonic dystrophy gene (MtPK) and found that repeat expansion (CTG46) causes a ...

The proposal of a clinical protocol to assess central and peripheral fatigue in myotonic dystrophy type 1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
DM1 is an autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by muscle weakness, myotonia, and multisystemic involvement. According to current literature fatigue and daytime sleepiness are among the main symptoms of DM1.

Normal levels of DM RNA and myotonin protein kinase in skeletal muscle from adult myotonic dystrophy (DM) patients

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 1996
A major question about the pathogenesis of myotonic dystrophy (DM) is how the (CTG)n repeat mutation alters expression of the DM gene and how that is related to disease causation. Most previous studies have found a decrease in DM RNA and protein in patient tissue.

Genetic and systems level analysis of Drosophila sticky/citron kinase and dFmr1 mutants reveals common regulation of genetic networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Background In Drosophila, the genes sticky and dFmr1 have both been shown to regulate cytoskeletal dynamics and chromatin structure. These genes also genetically interact with Argonaute family microRNA regulators.

Predictors of prognosis in type 1 myotonic dystrophy (DM1): longitudinal 18-years experience from a single center [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The aim of the study was to identify possible predictors of neurological worsening and need of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in individuals affected by myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy. Methods.

Hereditary Myopathies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Hereditary myopathies are inherited disorders primarily affecting the skeletal muscle tissue. These are caused by mutations in different genes-encoding proteins that play important roles in muscle structure and function.

Instability of the Expanded (CTG)nRepeats in the Myotonin Protein Kinase Gene in Cultured Lymphoblastoid Cell Lines from Patients with Myotonic Dystrophy

open access: yesGenomics, 1996
The mutation associated with myotonic dystrophy (DM) is the expansion of an unstable trinucleotide repeat, (CTG)n, in the 3'-untranslated region of the myotonin protein kinase gene. Although expanded repeats show both germline and somatic instability, the mechanisms of the instability are poorly understood.

Exploring the roles of stress, codon usage, and RNA modifications in myotonic dystrophy type 1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Myotonic dystrophy (DM), the most common form of muscular dystrophy, is a neuromuscular disease caused by microsatellite repeat expansions. It can represent a multi-systemic autosomal dominant disease with DM1 and DM2 subtypes. A cytosine-thymine-guanine
