myotonic dystrophy - inherited multisystem disease Definition for myotonic dystrophy Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is a chronic, slowly progressing, highly variable inherited multisystemic disease that can manifest at any age from birth to old age. more Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is a chronic, slowly progressing, highly variable inherited multisystemic disease that can manifest at any age from birth to old age. It is characterized by a wasting of the muscles (muscular dystrophy), posterior subcapsular irridescent cataracts (opacity of the lens of the eyes), heart conduction defects, endocrine changes and myotonia (difficulty relaxing a muscle). Most notably, the highly variable age of onset decreases with successive generations. Thus the disease shows at an earlier age in successive generations, a phenomenon termed anticipation. less some common symptoms muscle cramps in foot (feet) muscle weakness in leg(s) palpitations weakness some related diagnoses 1 - 7 of 75 diagnoses myopathies systemic lupus erythematosis limb girdle muscular dystrophies sciatica herniated disk diabetic neuropathy chronic alcoholic myopathy   more do i have 'myotonic dystrophy'?
