Genotype–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...
متن کاملMyotonic dystrophies.
Myotonic dystrophies or dystrophia myotonica (DM) is a clinical syndrome that includes myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2), myotonic dystrophy type 3 (DM3), and so forth. The terminology was recommended by the new nomenclature for myotonic dystrophies of an International Panel for Consensus. Previous studies have shown that DM1 is caused by the expansion of a cytosi...
متن کاملDevelopment of a genomic DNA reference material panel for myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) genetic testing.
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is caused by expansion of a CTG triplet repeat in the 3' untranslated region of the DMPK gene that encodes a serine-threonine kinase. Patients with larger repeats tend to have a more severe phenotype. Clinical laboratories require reference and quality control materials for DM1 diagnostic and carrier genetic testing. Well-characterized reference materials are not...
متن کاملStructural myocardial involvement in adult patients with type 1 myotonic dystrophy
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the commonest muscular dystrophy in adults, affecting multiple organs in addition to skeletal muscles. Cardiac conduction system abnormalities are well recognized as an important component of DM1 phenotype; however, primary structural myocardial abnormalities, which may predispose these patients to congestive heart failure, are not as well characterized. We re...
متن کاملMolecular Genetics and Genetic Testing in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the most common adult onset muscular dystrophy, presenting as a multisystemic disorder with extremely variable clinical manifestation, from asymptomatic adults to severely affected neonates. A striking anticipation and parental-gender effect upon transmission are distinguishing genetic features in DM1 pedigrees. It is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease a...
