Abstract
⺠We generated mifepristone-inducible transgenic mouse model of OPMD ⺠Inducible expression of mutant PABPN1 resulted in skeletal and cardiac myopathy ⺠De-induction of mutant PABPN1 attenuated the myopathy and reduced PABPN1 aggregates ⺠Silencing the expression of mutant PABPN1 may be an option for therapy in OPMD
