Myotonic dystrophy type 1
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a distal myopathy and a multisystem disease occurring with an incidence of 1/8000, as a result of a CTG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the serinetreonine-protein kinase (DMPK) coding gene on chromosome 19q13.3. In DM1 patients the length of the CTG expansion ranges from 50 to 4000. Disease severity correlates with repeat length and the phenomenon of genetic...
متن کاملThe hypocretin neurotransmission system in myotonic dystrophy type 1.
BACKGROUND Patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) frequently have symptoms of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Some patients with DM1 show sleep-onset REM, similar to that observed in narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is characterized by impaired hypocretin (Hcrt) neurotransmission. OBJECTIVE To test for dysregulation of Hcrt neurotransmission in a prospective cohort of patients with DM1. ME...
متن کاملCardiac involvement in myotonic dystrophy
BACKGROUND Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is an inherited progressive muscle disorder caused by defects in muscle proteins. As the incidence of this condition is low, not many are familiar with the multisystem involvement. At times, cardiac disease may even be the predominant manifestation in the form of arrhythmias, conduction defects, and cardiomyopathies. The progression of the disease can lead to ...
متن کاملLife habits in myotonic dystrophy type 1.
OBJECTIVE To describe and compare life habits between individuals with adult and mild phenotypes of myotonic dystrophy; identify life habit dimensions in which accomplishment is compromised; and describe satisfaction related to life habits. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS A random sample of 200 subjects with myotonic dystrophy (42 mild phenotypes, 158 adult phenotypes). MEASUREMENT...
متن کاملGenotype–Phenotype Correlations in Iranian Myotonic Dystrophy Type I Patients
Objectives: Myotonic Dystrophy type I (DM1) is a dominantly inherited disorder with a multisystemic pattern affecting skeletal muscle, heart, eye, endocrine and central nervous system. DM1 is associated with the expansion and instability of CTG repeat in the 3chr('39') untranslated region of the myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK) gene located on chromosome 19q13.3. The aim of this study w...
