Distrofia miotônica é um grupo de transtornos musculares hereditários. É a forma mais comum de distrofia muscular que começa na idade adulta. A distrofia miotônica é caracterizada por atrofia e fraqueza musculares progressivas e contrações musculares prolongadas (miotonia) que não são capazes de relaxar após o uso. Outros sinais e sintomas de distrofia miotônica incluem fala arrastada ou bloqueio temporário da mandíbula, catarata e defeitos de condução cardíaca. Em homens afetados, alterações hormonais podem levar a calvície precoce e infertilidade. A gravidade clínica varia amplamente entre os pacientes afetados, mesmo entre membros da mesma família. | |||
