Abstract
⺠We identified two abnormal splicing events for actinin-associated LIM protein 3 (PDLIM3/ALP) and fibronectin 1 (FN1) in the skeletal muscles of DM1 patients. ⺠From the analysis of the abnormal PDLIM3 splicing, we propose that ZASP-like motif-deficient PDLIM3 causes the muscular symptoms in DM. ⺠In adult humans, PDLIM3 expression is highest in skeletal muscles, and PDLIM3 splicing in skeletal muscles is regulated during human development.
