What do you meant by myotonic dystrophy.

 

When you hear the acronym MD, you immediately think of muscular dystrophy. Muscular

dystrophy is a disease that affects millions and even has its own telethon. It features a child

with leg braces and a child in a wheelchair. But, another MD is moronic dystrophy, which is a

derivative of the main version and is the most common form beginning in adulthood. Again,

this is a long-term hereditary disease characterized by loss of muscle.

Although there is currently no cure, doctors can treat the symptoms of ailments such as

cataracts, intellectual disability. Miltonic dystrophy, also characterized by the inability of the

muscles to contract and then relax is a condition of muscle weakness. Anyone can be affected

by moronic dystrophy, but it generally begins in his 20s or 30s. A child born with this

condition, called congenital moronic dystrophy, usually has a more severe form and, due to the

autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.

The condition affects 1 in 8000 people worldwide. Symptoms may be present from birth, but

with so many neuromuscular disorders it is difficult to get a definitive diagnosis. It begins with

muscle weakness throughout the body, starting with the muscles of the body. Weakness

progresses to other muscle groups, including the heart. People with milder cases may see

weakness in only one area.
