Myotonic Dystrophy Whole Blood
About: Whole blood from donors with confirmed myotonic dystrophy. Useful for DMPK/CNBP repeat expansion research and antisense oligonucleotide therapy studies.
<h2>Myotonic Dystrophy Whole Blood for Research</h2>
Myotonic dystrophy is an inherited neuromuscular disorder caused by nucleotide repeat expansions in the DMPK or CNBP genes, causing progressive muscle wasting and myotonia. Sanguine collects fresh whole blood from IRB-consented donors with a clinically confirmed myotonic dystrophy diagnosis for neuromuscular genetic research.
