Myotonia congenita is a muscular disease characterized by myotonia, hypertrophy, and stiffness. It
is inherited as either autosomal dominant or recessive known as Thomsen and Becker diseases, respectively.

Somatic instability of the expanded CTG triplet repeat in myotonic dystrophy type 1 is a heritable quantitative trait and modifier of disease severity
(Human Molecular Genetics, 2012 Vol. 21, No. 16. 3558–3567, 2012-05-30)
Deciphering the contribution of genetic instability in somatic cells is critical to our understanding of many
human disorders. Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is one such disorder that is caused by the expansion
of a CTG ...
