  • Title: Prenatal diagnosis for the unstable CTG repeat sequence in myotonic dystrophy: a retrospective study in a French family.
    Author: Lucotte G, Berriche S, David F, Mariotti M, Turpin JC.
    Journal: Genet Couns; 1994; 5(2):171-4. PubMed ID: 7917127.
    Abstract:
    The results of DNA analysis for the unstable CTG repeat are reported in a french family of myotonic dystrophy. This retrospective study confirms results obtained previously with a linked DNA marker, using the CTG repeat DNA sequence in the same family. The demonstrated possibility of predicting phenotype as well as genotype in prenatal diagnosis is important for such a disorder, were subjects may be severely affected.
