Fig 3. Representative histograms showing the allele distributions in two tissue sources of six DM1 patients.

Fig 3

The header indicates the progenitor allele length estimated in blood (ePAL) for each patient and the probability value (p) of equal distributions in both sample sources, calculated using the t-statistic of Anderson-Darling (AD). Patients with blood ePAL < 150 CTG repeats show similar allele distributions, while non-congenital DM1 patients with an ePAL > 150 CTG repeats showed a higher degree of instability in blood. Congenital cases showed higher levels of instability in saliva than in blood (bottom right).
