Abstract
Myotonic dystrophy is the commonest inherited muscle disease of adults . It causes significant clinical features in many organ systems and re quires a broad-based approach for optimum management. Recent genetic a dvances promise to provide exciting new insights into the pathophysiol ogy of the disease and may allow rational treatments to be developed.
