1. 1. Exploring the genetic cause of myotonic dystrophy in horses

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

   Author : Thomas Simon; [2023]
   Keywords : genetics; bioinformatics; myotonic dystrophy; horses; variant analysis;

   Abstract : Myotonic Dystrophy (MD) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder that leads to a wide range of clinical signs including stiffness, abnormal muscle relaxation, and muscle atrophy or hypertrophy. Affected muscles develop a prolonged contracture in response to percussion of the muscle and show waxing and waning complex repetitive discharges in electromyography (EMG). READ MORE
