Myotonic dystrophy:
Myotonic dystrophy is an autosomal dominant trait transmitted with variable penetrance. There is an expansion (more than 35 repeat motifs) of the CTG sequence on the long arm of chromosome 19 (region q13.3). The gene involved encodes for a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family. 50 to thousands of CTG repeats have been found in mutant alleles. In 30% of individuals with muscular dystrophy,
