Myotonic dystrophy

Myotonic dystrophy

There are a number of patient registries across the world that collect data on patients with myotonic dystrophy.

A workshop was held in 2009 to establish a core dataset that all registries should collect in order for their data to be comparable (see the links section on the left). As a result of this, an international registry that collates information from the national registries is currently in the process of being established. If you are a patient (or parent of a patient) with myotonic dystrophy and would like to register in a patient registry, you should do this via the registry in your country if one is available.
