Mouse with myotonic dystrophy type 1 finds RNA binding proteins at heart of problem
A new mouse model for myotonic dystrophy - the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy - helped Baylor College of Medicine researchers show that levels of CUGBP1, a protein that binds and controls the activity of the genetic material RNA, increase early in affected cells of the animals with the disease. This means CUGBP1 plays a key role in the disorder.
