Length of (CTG)n triplet repeats in myotonic dystrophy protein kinase gene (DMPK) was estimated in tumors, normal tissues of the same organs, muscles, and leukocytes from three myotonic dystrophy (DM) patients and a non-DM patient. Using cDNA 25 as a probe, a Southern blot analysis of EcoRI- and Bgl
A 66-year-old Japanese man with myotonic dystrophy (DM) underwent total laryngectomy for laryngeal carcinoma. The size of the expanded DNA fragment (EF) from the leukocytes and normal laryngeal tissues of this patient was only slightly longer than that in normal subjects. EF, however, was markedly l
Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is associated with an increased number of CTG repeats in the 3 untranslated region of the myotonin gene. Because DM has been observed less frequently in Ashkenazic Jews and non-Jews than in North African and Yemenite Jews in Israel, a study of the CTG repeat polymorphism was
