2 stimulating hormone concentrations are frequently increased, even in subclinical hypogonadism.1 Electrophysiological studies Before diagnostic genetic testing was available, electromyography showing the combination of myotonia and myopathic changes was pathognomonic for diagnosis.1 However, in mildly affected, young adult patients the myopathic component might be missing, leading to considerations of myotonia congenita. Findings of nerve conduction studies are normal. In myotonic dystrophy type 2, the less prominent and frequently missing, or conspicuously absent, myotonic component can easily mislead diagnostic efforts towards polymyositis.13 Muscle histopathology Muscle biopsy findings in myotonic dystrophy type 1 are well established and are more pronounced in distal than proximal muscle, including a highly increased number of internal nuclei, sarcoplasmic masses, ring fibres, and moderate atrophy of type 1 fibres in clinically weak muscles (figure 2).1 Histopathological features in type 2 disease are very different, despite early reports describing Vol 11 October 2012 Muscle Biopsy C D Figure 2: Differential histopathological features on muscle biopsy In myotonic dystrophy type 1, the characteristic feature detected on conventional haemat (A) is fibre size variation and an increased number of internal nuclei in the fibres (arrow) in immunohistochemical fibre typing (B), slow type 1 fibres (brown) are on average smaller th (blue). In myotonic dystrophy type 2, the early finding at diagnosis on haematoxylin and e increased number of small atrophic fibres containing, almost exclusively, nuclei (so-called n even in asymptomatic proximal muscles (arrow).

TF=transcription factor. account for the multisystemic phenotype in myotonic dystrophy. 67,75,76 For most mis spliced genes identified so far, patients with types 1 and 2 disease show comparable splicing abnormalities, sug gesting that qualitative differences in splicing do not account for phenotypic differences. However, whereas missplicing of CLCN1 (by giving rise to a non-functional transcript) can account for myotonia, a clear pathogenic role for most other misspliced genes has not been shown and evidence remains circumstantial. Missplicing of exon 11 of the amphiphysin gene (BIN1), mediated by MBNL1 loss, was linked to tubular defects in both myotonic dystrophy types 1 and Missplicing was more common in type 1 disease than type 2 and was seen only in affected muscles, with secondary changes of muscle tubulation and defective phosphoinositide signalling. These results were replicated in mouse models, and the noted changes might be associated with central nucleation and developmental weakness and hypotonia in congenital myotonic internal nuclei in muscl with myotonic dystrophy related to this missplicing of the CaV1.1 calcium c CELF1, was linked functi altered Ca² + gating. 82 Mis muscle proteins, such as L by LDB3), myomesin ( chain 14 non-muscle (M patients with myotonic dy Data from several anim foci, and muscle patho events (table 2) Mb mice, 85,97 and the Cugbp1 tr CELF1, 87,102 show aberrant mutant RNA.

4 The diagnosis of this form of DM1 is often missed in affected adolescents or children because of uncharacteristic symptoms for a muscular dystrophy and apparently negative family history (16). Cases of DM1 that come to medical attention during childhood typically manifest developmental abnormalities that are less severe than seen in congenital onset cases (17). Unlike the CDM patients, in which maternal transmission is the rule, the sex of the parents does not influence the development of childhood onset DM1. These patients have cognitive deficits and learning abnormalities (18). As in the congenital cases, degenerative features often develop as these children reach adulthood. There is increasing evidence of early conduction abnormalities, and from the age of 10, annual electrocardiograms and consideration of electrophysiological studies should be a part of routine management. 156 talking, chewing, and swallowing.
