Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is caused by an expansion of a CTG trinucleotide repeat in a gene for an enzyme (the DMPK gene that encodes the enzyme dystrophia myotonica protein kinase, a serine/threonine kinase). Myotonic muscular dystrophy (also known as myotonic dystrophy, dystrophia myotonica or Steinert's disease, and abbreviated MMD, MyD, or DM) is the most common type of adult muscular dystrophy, which affects 1 in 8000 individuals (approximately 40,000 people in the United States). |
