Table 1.

Summary of transcripts expressed in brain tissue and altered in human DM1 samples. All genes mentioned are described in the text and represented in alphabetical order. DM1 patients brain sections refer to extraction of total RNA from homogenised brain tissue from DM1 patient autopsy, DM1 patient skeletal muscle biopsy refers to extraction of total RNA from homogenised skeletal muscle biopsy of DM1 patients and DM1 patient-derived myotubes refers to RNA extraction of cultured myoblasts from DM1 patient biopsy differentiated to myotubes in cell culture.
