Myotonic dystrophy is part of the group of muscular dystrophies. It
is the commonest inherited muscular dystrophy and has a profound
effect on individuals who are diagnosed with the disease and their
families. It is present for many decades of a patient's life but,
unlike the other dystrophies, it also affects the organs in the
body, making this a very distinctive disorder, and a very troubling
one for those close to it.
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 worlwide research.
New to this edition are "Key Facts" at the beginning of each
chapter, "Frequently Asked Questions" boxes, and up-to-date contact
details for worldwide myotonic dystrophy support groups.
