WebDOI: 10.1007/s11033-010-0235-7 Abstract Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the most common form of adult muscular dystrophy, is caused by anormal expansion of CTG trinucleotide repeats located in the 3'-untranslated region of the DMPK gene. WebFeb 27, 2012 · Expansion of (CTG)n•(CAG)n trinucleotide repeat (TNR) microsatellite sequences is the cause of more than a dozen human neurodegenerative diseases. (CTG)n and (CAG)n repeats form imperfectly base paired hairpins that tend to expand in vivo in a length-dependent manner. Yeast, mouse and human models confirm that …
