Journal ArticleDOI

Expansion of an unstable DNA region and phenotypic variation in myotonic dystrophy

TL;DR: A human genomic clone is isolated that detects novel restriction fragments specific to individuals with myotonic dystrophy, strongly supporting earlier results which indicated that most cases are descended from one original mutation.
Journal Article

Size of the unstable CTG repeat sequence in relation to phenotype and parental transmission in myotonic dystrophy.

TL;DR: Analysis of congenitally affected cases shows not only that they have, on average, the largest repeat sizes but also that their mothers have larger mean repeat sizes, supporting previous suggestions that a maternal effect is involved in the pathogenesis of this form of the disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unstable DNA sequence in myotonic dystrophy

TL;DR: Progressive expansion of the affected gene provides a molecular explanation for an apparently earlier onset in successive generations (anticipation) in myotonic dystrophy and supports the role of an unstable repeat sequence as the basis of the defect.
Journal Article

Detection of linkage disequilibrium between the myotonic dystrophy locus and a new polymorphic DNA marker.

TL;DR: The results suggest that at least 58% of DM patients in the British population, as well as those in a French-Canadian subpopulation, are descended from the same ancestral DM mutation.
