Early recognition of heterozygotes for the gene for dystrophia myotonica.
A study has been performed on 124 first degree relatives of 38 index patients with dystrophia myotonica in order to assess means of detecting heterozygotes before neurological complaints. Some or all of the following tests have been performed on the relatives: clinical examination, electromyography, slit-lamp examination, radiography of the skull, electrocardiography, serum insulin, and serum i...
متن کاملRespiration in Dystrophia Myotonica.
The interesting paper by Dr J E Clague et al (March 1994;49:240-4) contains some results and conclusions which are at variance with earlier studies. Firstly, their results showed that the vent-ilatory response to carbon dioxide in these patients was lower than in the controls, but the difference was not significant. Several earlier studies showed clear evidence of a reduction in the slope of th...
متن کاملElectrophysiological study of dystrophia myotonica.
A comprehensive electrophysiological study has been made of the extensor digitorum brevis muscle and its motor innervation in 17 patients with dystrophia myotonica. The mean contraction and half-relaxation times were prolonged in the isometric twitches of dystrophic muscles. Decremental responses to repetitive motor nerve stimulation were found in two patients. All the terminal latency measurem...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin levels in dystrophia myotonica.
Levels of immunoglobulins IgG, IgA, and IgM were measured in 38 patients with myotonic dystrophy, in normal members of their families, and in matched controls. Log IgG was significantly reduced in the patients. IgG investigation provides a further parameter to appraise the status of apparently unaffected members of myotonic dystrophy families.
متن کاملDystrophia myotonica: a multisystem disease.
AN AI~A~S'rHESIOLOCIST is aware of the need for caution when confronted with a patient suffering from a myotonic syndrome. On reviewing the literature, 1,2 it becomes evident that the stress has been on the myotonic aspects of the disease. However, dystrophia myotonica is a multisystem disease, and the following case report and related discussion illustrate the many facets which need considerat...
