     • DM2 is a multi-system disorder characterised by an inability to relax muscles once they have contracted or “myotonia” and muscle weakness. DM2 is generally a milder condition than DM1.The clinical onset of DM2 is typically in the third or fourth decade, with the most commonly presented symptoms being muscle weakness, stiffness and pain.

   What is myotonic dystrophy type 2?

   • Myotonic dystrophy type 2 typically presents in adulthood and has variable manifestations such as early onset cataracts (less than 50 years of age), various grip myotonias, thigh muscle stiffness, muscle pain, and weakness (in hip flexors, hip extensors, or long flexors of the fingers) 4-6, 14, 64-67.

   What is type 1 myotonic dystrophy?

   • Isolated case reports of myotonia had been published previously, including reports by Frederick Eustace Batten and Hans Curschmann, and type 1 myotonic dystrophy is therefore sometimes known as Curschmann-Batten-Steinert syndrome. The underlying cause of type 1 myotonic dystrophy was determined in 1992.

   What are myotonic dystrophies?

   • The myotonic dystrophies are the more frequent muscle disorders in adulthood. So far 2 distinct entities have been described: myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2). In this article I review the discovery of the gene, the clinical features, pathogenetic and management of more recently described DM2.

   Type 2 (DM2), also known as proximal myotonic myopathy (PROMM), is rarer and generally manifests with milder signs and symptoms than DM1. Other forms of myotonic dystrophy not associated with DM1 or DM2 genetic mutations have been described.

   There are two main forms of myotonic dystrophy: Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), also known as Steinert disease. DM1 has four types: classic, mild, congenital and childhood. Myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2), also known as proximal myotonic myopathy. Their symptoms overlap, but DM2 tends to be milder than DM1.

   Sep 21, 2006 · Myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) is characterized by myotonia and muscle dysfunction (proximal and axial weakness, myalgia, and stiffness), and less commonly by posterior subcapsular cataracts, cardiac conduction defects, insulin-insensitive type 2 diabetes mellitus, and other endocrine abnormalities.

   DM2 is an important diagnosis to consider in patients who have proximal muscle weakness around the shoulders and pelvis or a “limb-girdle weakness”. DM2 is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder which means that, on average, it is passed on to half of the children of an affected parent.
