CRISPR/dCas9-mediated tuning of DMPK transcription reveals a quantitative relationship between toxic repeat RNA expression and MBNL1 activity in myotonic dystrophy.
It is demonstrated that expanded DMPK transcript levels modulate free MBNL1 concentration and alternative splicing in a dose-dependent manner, underscoring the central role of repeat RNA expression in DM1 pathogenesis.
