Myotonic Dystrophy: What It Is, Symptoms, Types Treatment Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is an inherited multisystem condition that mainly causes progressive muscle loss, weakness and myotonia It can also affect other parts of your body, including your heart, lungs and eyes There’s no cure for DM, but certain treatments and therapies can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life
Myotonic Dystrophy type 2 (DM2) DM2 is an important diagnosis to consider in patients who have proximal muscle weakness around the shoulders and pelvis or a “limb-girdle weakness” DM2 is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder which means that, on average, it is passed on to half of the children of an affected parent
DM2 | Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation Myotonic dystrophy type 2, also known as proximal myotonic myopathy (PROMM), is a milder form of myotonic dystrophy in which transient muscle pain is the most common complaint Only adult-onset forms of DM2 have been recognized To date, there have been few large scale or definitive studies to determine the prevalence of DM2
Myotonic dystrophy: Treatment and prognosis - UpToDate Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) are autosomal dominant, multisystem disorders characterized by skeletal muscle weakness and myotonia, cardiac conduction abnormalities, iridescent cataracts, and other abnormalities
Entry - #602668 - MYOTONIC DYSTROPHY 2; DM2 - OMIM Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is a multisystem disorder and the most common form of muscular dystrophy in adults Individuals with DM2 have muscle pain and stiffness, progressive muscle weakness, myotonia, male hypogonadism, cardiac arrhythmias, diabetes, and early cataracts
Consensus-based care recommendations for adults with myotonic dystrophy . . . Myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) is a rare, progressive multisystem disease particularly affecting the skeletal muscle A causal therapy is not yet available; however, prompt, appropriate symptomatic treatments are essential to limit disease-related complications
Types of Myotonic Dystrophy (DM) - Muscular Dystrophy Association Myotonic dystrophy (DM) includes two major types — DM1 and DM2 — both caused by genetic defects They result in multisystem disorders characterized by skeletal muscle weakness and myotonia (difficulty relaxing muscles after use), cardiac abnormalities, cataracts, and other abnormalities
Myotonic Dystrophy - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf There are two major forms recognized based on clinical and molecular presentation: Myotonic dystrophy type I (DM1), known as Steinert disease, and myotonic dystrophy type II (DM2), or proximal myotonic myopathy which is a milder variety of DMI
