A concise summary of genome editing efforts in DM1 to date and a look at gaps in getting to an approved therapeutic.

How to Talk about a DM1 Diagnosis

A new study provides insights into how families communicate a diagnosis of DM1.

Upstream Methylation Impacts Muscle and Respiratory Function in DM1

Epigenetic modifications linked to the pathomechanism of CDM may also play a role in the severity of DM1.
