Genetics and Physiology of the Myotonic Muscle Disorders

New England Journal of Medicine, 1993
The myotonic muscle disorders represent a heterogeneous group of clinically similar diseases sharing the feature of myotonia: delayed relaxation of muscle after voluntary contraction (action myoton...

Proximal Myotonic Myopathy

Archives of Neurology, 1995
Previous investigations in three families have shown that proximal myotonic myopathy (PROMM) is not linked to the gene loci for myotonic dystrophy (DM) or to the loci of the genes of the muscle sodium and chloride channels associated with other myotonic disorders.

Eye movement disorders in myotonic dystrophy type 1

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 2007
No definite sign was found of central oculomotor system disorders being independent of saccadic slowing because (1) diminished maximum slow phase velocity of the optokinetic nystagmus (OKNspv) was closely related to saccadic slowing ...

Myotonia and Myotonic Disorders

1984
Myotonia is the delayed relaxation of muscles following voluntary contraction (action myotonia) or mechanical stimulation (percussion myotonia). Action myotonia can be demonstrated by asking the patient to release a tightly clinched fist quickly or by having a patient look down after sustained upgaze.

Myotonic dystrophy and cardiac disorders.

Panminerva medica, 2001
Myotonic dystrophy (MD) is a multisystem disease affecting numerous organs and systems. Cardiac involvement is frequent. Sudden death, due to fatal cardiac rhythm and conduction disturbances occurs in 30% of patients with MD. The aim of this study was to assess the possibilities and methods of early detection of myocardial and conduction system ...

Myotonic disorders and periodic paralysis.

Bailliere's clinical neurology, 1994
The myotonias are a diverse set of diseases, variable in presentation, often difficult to diagnose and, until now, treated with only a limited degree of success. Recent genetic advances have pinpointed many of the mutations that underlie these disorders and have demonstrated that there may be different causative genetic mutations underlying the same ...

Myotonic dystrophy type 2 and related myotonic disorders

2011
The myotonic disorders result from dysfunction in either the chloride or sodium channel and these disorders fall in the category of nondystrophic myotonias. The other group is represented by myotonic dystrophies. The myotonic dystrophies are multisystem, autosomal dominantly inherited, highly variable muscle disease more frequent in adults.

Myotonic dystrophy: a multisystemic disorder

2004
Abstract Myotonic dystrophy is one of the most variable of all disorders, a factor that has profound implications for its management. The details of this variability and its consequences are reflected in the specific chapters of this book, but in this introductory chapter an overview of the principal clinical aspects is given ...
