Why the study?
Precise understanding of the types and prevalence of genetically determined neuromuscular diseases is essential to appropriately manage patients with progressive weakness and complications, and to plan future health service needs.
Myotonic dystrophy is the most common genetically determined adult muscle disorder in south western Norway, highlighting the need for specialized multidisciplinary care to manage associated complications.
