Should not yet inform DM1 management; leaves open MBNL1 stoichiometry as a therapeutic target in models.
Expanded CUG repeats in myotonic dystrophy type 1 alter the stoichiometry of MBNL1 complexes, leading to the reinforcement and expansion of RNA processing defects.
Paul et al. (2011) studied Myotonic dystrophy I (DM1). Expanded CUG repeats vs. Normal myoblasts was evaluated on Stoichiometry of MBNL1(CUG) complexes and RNA splicing. Expression of expanded CUG repeats altered the stoichiometry of MBNL1(CUG) complexes in DM1 myoblasts, increasing levels of partner proteins and dysregulating RNA splicing.
