ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides methods for identifying individuals not at risk for developing myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2), and individuals that have or at risk for developing DM2. The present invention also provides isolated polynucleotides that include a repeat tract within intron 1 of the zinc finger protein 9.
