Disrupted prenatal RNA processing and myogenesis in congenital myotonic dystrophy

Abstract: Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a CTG microsatellite expansion (CTG exp ) disorder caused by expression of CUG exp RNAs. These mutant RNAs alter the activities of RNA processing factors, including MBNL proteins, leading to re-expression of fetal isoforms in adult tissues and DM1 pathology. While this pathogenesis model accounts for adult-onset disease, the molecular basis of congenital DM (CDM) is unknown. Here, we test the hypothesis that disruption of developmentally regulated RNA alternative process… Show more

“…Thomas et al (2017) addressed this question by showing that disrupted RNA processing also underlies CDM pathology, with key differences from adult-onset DM1 that may explain the severity and the early onset of CDM. Thomas et al (2017) first quantified splicing dysregulation in CDM by comparing the skeletal muscle transcriptomes of CDM-affected infants with disease control (spinal muscular atrophy type I) and healthy control transcriptomes. They identified hundreds of potentially disease-relevant isoforms that were differentially spliced in CDM muscle relative to controls as well as dysregulated alternative polyadenylation.…”

“…In contrast, CDM exhibits early, with in utero onset of disease. Thomas et al (2017) therefore tested whether RNA misprocessing similarly occurred in utero in CDM-affected individuals. The investigators first assessed whether splicing transitions are widespread during skeletal muscle development in utero.…”
