  1. MECP2-related pathways are dysregulated in a cortical organoid model of myotonic dystrophy.

    Science translational medicine · 2022 · 14(651): eabn2375

    Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a multisystem, autosomal-dominant inherited disorder caused by CTG microsatellite repeat expansions (MREs) in the 3' untranslated region of the dystrophia myotonica-protein kinase (<i>DMPK</i>) gene. Despite its prominence as the most common adult-onset muscular dystrophy, …

  2. The sustained expression of Cas9 targeting toxic RNAs reverses disease phenotypes in mouse models of myotonic dystrophy type 1.

    Nature biomedical engineering · 2021 · 5(2): 157-168

    Myotonic dystrophy type I (DM1) is a multisystemic autosomal-dominant inherited human disorder that is caused by CTG microsatellite repeat expansions (MREs) in the 3' untranslated region of DMPK. Toxic RNAs expressed from such repetitive sequences can be eliminated using CRISPR-mediated …

  3. Repeat RNA expansion disorders of the nervous system: post-transcriptional mechanisms and therapeutic strategies.

    Critical reviews in biochemistry and molecular biology · 2021 · 56(1): 31-53

    Dozens of incurable neurological disorders result from expansion of short repeat sequences in both coding and non-coding regions of the transcriptome. Short repeat expansions underlie microsatellite repeat expansion (MRE) disorders including myotonic dystrophy (DM1, CUG<sub>50-3,500</sub> in <i>DMPK</i>; DM2, CCTG<sub>75-11,000</sub> in …

    PMID 33172304 DOI ↗

  4. Elimination of Toxic Microsatellite Repeat Expansion RNA by RNA-Targeting Cas9.

    Cell · 2017 · 170(5): 899-912.e10

    Microsatellite repeat expansions in DNA produce pathogenic RNA species that cause dominantly inherited diseases such as myotonic dystrophy type 1 and 2 (DM1/2), Huntington's disease, and C9orf72-linked amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (C9-ALS). Means to target these repetitive RNAs are required for …
