Abstract

The myotonic dystrophy mutation has recently been identified; however, the molecular mechanism of the disease is still unknown. The sequence of the myotonin-protein kinase gene was determined, and messenger RNA spliced forms were identified in various tissues. Antisera were developed for analytical studies. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and radioimmunoassay were used to demonstrate that decreased levels of the messenger RNA and protein expression are associated with the adult form of myotonic dystrophy.
