Investigating genome engineering of myotonic dystrophy cells and small molecules as potential therapeutic agents

Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is a dominantly inherited multisystem disease. There are 2 types of DM: DM1, caused by a CTG repeat expansion in the 3’-UTR of the DMPK gene, and DM2, caused by a CCTG repeat expansion in intron 1 of the CNBP gene. In both types of DM the transcribed RNA, containing the repea...
