(CCUG)(n) RNA toxicity in a Drosophila model of myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) activates apoptosis

The myotonic dystrophies are prototypic toxic RNA gain-of-function diseases. Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and type 2 (DM2) are caused by different unstable, noncoding microsatellite repeat expansions – (CTG)(DM1) in DMPK and (CCTG)(DM2) in CNBP. Although transcription of mutant repeats into (CUG)...
