Myotonic dystrophy is an autosomal dominant disorder that results in skeletal muscle weakness and wasting, myotonia, and numerous nonmuscular manifestations including frontal balding, cataracts, gonadal dysfunction, cardiac conduction abnormalities, respiratory insufficiency, and hypersomnolence.

Myotonic Dystrophy and Myotonic Dystrophy Protein Kinase
Progress in Histochemistry and Cytochemistry, 2000Myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK) was designated as a gene responsible for myotonic dystrophy (DM) on chromosome 19, because the gene product has extensive homology to protein kinase catalytic domains. DM is the most common disease with multisystem disorders among muscular dystrophies.

Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy, 2005
We describe a case of severe congenital myotonic dystrophy (CDM). A 38-year-old primigravida, who was known to suffer from mild myotonic dystrophy (DM), conceived spontaneously and booked for confinement at 11 weeks in our unit. The couple had been fully counseled about the risks of transmission of this condition to their offspring before embarking on ...

Myotonic muscular dystrophy is inherited as an autosomal dominant disease and affects many different organ systems. Genetic research has located the DM gene to chromosome 19. Using new DNA probes, highly accurate genetic counseling can be provided for families with DM.

Medical Hypotheses, 1985
Myotonic dystrophy (MYD) has been localized to chromosome 19. Like other hereditary diseases with a genetic locus assigned to chromosome 19, MYD is a genetically inherited autosomal dominant disease. It is speculated that such a genetic pattern may express the characteristics of chromosome 19.

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2001
Myotonic muscular dystrophy is the most frequent autosomal muscular dystrophy affecting adults and children. It affects multiple organ systems and is probably the best example of variable expressivity in a human disease. This article presents a patient with congenital myotonic dystrophy who had facial dysmorphism, hypotonia, talipes, feeding and ...

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2000
This review demonstrates genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity in all of the multisystemic myotonic disorders collectively called 'myotonic dystrophies' according to the new nomenclature: myotonic dystrophy type 1, myotonic dystrophy type 2, proximal myotonic myopathy and proximal myotonic dystrophy.

Deconstructing Myotonic Dystrophy
Science, 2000Triplet repeat diseases are disorders in which there is expansion of a repeat sequence of three nucleotides in the affected gene. Although the pathology usually results from production of a defective protein, myotonic dystrophy (DM) has proved to be a puzzle because the expanded repeats appear in a non-coding region of the affected DMPK gene.

Myotonic megacolon in myotonic dystrophy
American Journal of Roentgenology, 1978Myotonic dystrophy has been incriminated as a cause for dilatation of the colon. This occurrence has occasionally been mistaken for bowel obstruction, and sumgery has been unnecessarily performed [1 , 2]. Since a spectrum of signs and symptoms may be present in myotonic dystrophy, it is important to keep this possibility in mind in cases of bowel ...
