Award Description: This supplement will allow us to apply some new techniques to develop transgenic mice that have single copy integrations of a highly expanded trinucleotide repeat.
Project Description: This project will use ES cell technology and cell-free cloning to develop a transgenic mouse model of myotonic dystrophy type 1. The expected outcome is a mouse model for conditional expression of the myotonic dystrophy gene. The model will express a transgene mRNA having a highly-expanded, non-coding, uninterrupted CUG repeat. This model will be particularly suited for studies of repeat instability in somatic cells, and for preclinical steps of therapeutic development.
