We have examined the myotonin protein kinase (MT-PK) gene expression in different human brain areas. Four different spliced forms, comprising exons 13 and 14, were identified and characterized. One form (MYOT-A), lacking the entire exon 13, had not been detected in other studies and it is likely to be a brain-specific transcript. Different brain areas show a specific transcription pattern. These results suggest that MT-PK may have specialized functions in different areas of central nervous system. Alterations of this complex expression pattern could be responsible for the mental status impairment observed in myotonic dystrophy patients.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
