The article focuses on a dystrophica myotonia protein kinase deficient (DMPK) mouse model using transgenic techniques and targeted inactivation of DMPK. DMPK encodes a serine-threonine protein kinase located near the expanded, unstable trinucleotide repeat, which forms the genetic basis for DM. The DMPK gene is an excellent candidate that may be responsible for the multisystem involvement observed in DM. The DMPK mouse should be a reasonable model for human disease in that the murine and human DMPK show strong homology.
