MYOTONIC DYSTROPHY 2E FACTS PAPER 2nd Edition

When the first edition of Myotonic Dystropy: The Facts published in 2002, it was widely appreciated by families, support groups, professionals and reviewers for its simple and clear approach to key practical questions. This new edition retains the same successful structure, but now includes new material on the recognition of the distinct ‘type 2 myotonic dystrophy’, which had only just been identified at the time of the first edition. Further explanation of the advances in basic understanding of myotonic dystrophy, and additional coverage of the new approaches to therapy and management of the condition are also included, as well as comprehensive discussion of the recent on-going worldwide research.

New to this edition are ‘Key Facts’ at the beginning of each chapter, ‘frequently asked question’ boxes, and up-to-date contact details for worldwide myotonic dystrophy support groups.
