Answer:
percent
Explanation:
Dystrophia myotonica protein kinase gene, DMPK is a kind of autosomal dominant mutation. Since this disease is autosomal, it is not affected by the sex chromosome. Out of total 23 chromosome pairs in human being, 22 are autosomal chromosome while one pair is sex chromosome. Also autosomal dominant means that the mutated gene is a dominant gene that is found in the non sex chromosomes.
Thus, only one mutated allele is required to pass on the mutation through the families hierarchy.
Thus, the mutation rate of the DMPK gene is
