1. Myotonic muscular dystrophy is a rare hereditary disease involved with multiple sys tems. only a few cases were reported in our country.

2. The results showed that the electrophysiological myotonic discharges were found in all patients, which were prominent in abductor pollicis brevis muscles.

3. Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics of myotonic dystrophy (DM).

4. A disorder due to a similar molecular basis, myotonic dystrophy 1 (DM1), is known to have white matter hyperintensities on cranial MRI.

5. If either parent carries the defective gene for myotonic dystrophy, there's a 50 percent chance the disorder will be passed along to a child.

6. Aim : To summarize the pathological characteristics of myotonic dystrophy ( DM ).

7. Patients with myotonic dystrophy , the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy , have a high prevalence of insulin resistance due to disruption of the insulin receptor.

8. Objective To study the muscular pathological characteristics in myotonic dystrophy (DM).

9. People with myotonic dystrophy have prolonged muscle tensing (myotonia) and are not able to relax certain muscles after use.

10. Myotonic dystrophy is a degenerative disease characterized by progressive muscle wasting and weakness.

11. Over time it became apparent that a central player in myotonic dystrophy was RNA[sentencedict .com], a versatile molecule that is very similar to DNA.

12. Quick movements cause muscle stiffening. There is also a myotonic form of muscular dystrophy.

13. Objective To study the clinical and pathology features of myotonic dystrophy (DM).

14. Clinical and electrophysiological investigations were made in 20 members from 4 myotonic dystrophy (MD) families.

15. However, having established a general concept of what a treatment for myotonic dystrophy may look like, researchers believe that the next steps in developing an effective drug should go faster.
