We see patients with both myotonic dystrophy type 1 and 2.
Myotonic
dystrophy type 1 and 2 are multi-system genetic diseases which mainly affect the muscle, heart, bowels, eyes and brain.
They are
progressive conditions which vary in severity and age of onset.
Our service is one of the main UK referral centres for
patients with myotonic dystrophy. We see referrals from throughout the
UK.
