Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and type 2 (DM2) are autosomal dominant neuromuscular disorders associated with expansions of microsatellites, respectively, in DMPK and CNBP. Their pathogenesis is linked to the global aberrant alternative splicing (AAS) of many genes and marks mostly muscular and neuronal tissues, while blood is the least affected. Here, CNBP is linked to myotonic dystrophy type 2.
