The DMPK gene at 9q13.2-q13.3 causes myotonic dystrophy type I through diverse effects on nearby gene regulation if it has expanded CTG repeats (200-2000 plus) in the 3-prime untranslated region of the code for dystrophia myotonica protein kinase.
- Normal 5 to 30 CTG repeats
- ≥38 repeats usual cut off for disease
- Mild 50 to 80 CTG repeats
- Severe 2,000 or more CTG repeats
