Summary
The Tom Cooper lab at Baylor College of Medicine has open projects that investigate that investigate two related areas: (1) the mechanisms and physiological consequences of conserved alternative splicing transitions regulated during mammalian postnatal development and (2) the disruption of this regulatory network that is the pathogenic mechanism of the microsatellite expansion disease myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) that affects multiple tissues and is the most common cause of muscular dystrophy in adults. In DM1, the RNA expressed from the expanded allele disrupts regulation of a network of alternative splicing transitions that normally drive fetal to adult protein isoform expression. Expression of fetal protein isoforms unable to perform the functions required in adult tissue causes disease features. The investigations in these two areas are complementary and provide the basis for an exchange of ideas and collaboration within the lab.
