MSH2 ATPase domain mutation affects CTG*CAG repeat instability in transgenic mice.

MSH2 ATPase domain mutation affects CTG*CAG repeat instability in transgenic mice.

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is associated with one of the most highly unstable CTG*CAG repeat expansions. The formation of further repeat expansions in transgenic mice carrying expanded CTG*CAG tracts requires the mismatch repair (MMR) proteins MSH2 and MSH3, forming the MutSbeta complex. It has...
