Maurice Swanson, Ph.D., Professor of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology at University of Florida, Gainesville, and a team of researchers have found that the muscleblind-like 2 (MBNL2) protein in the central nervous system (CNS) may be responsible for the neurological impacts of myotonic dystrophy
Multisystemic Features
Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is a multisystemic disorder that can affect all age groups. Because of the range of systems affected, management requires a more expansive approach than most disorders and care is best provided by a coordinated, multidisciplinary team.
Information on the symptoms, diagnosis and management of each system affected by myotonic dystrophy is available via the links above.
