Find Myotonic Dystrophy Resources
Did you find all the DM resources mentioned in this weekend's presentations? Medical professionals are often unfamiliar with myotonic dystrophy (DM) because they see these cases so infrequently. That’s why we created informational toolkits and reference guides for clinicians treating people living with DM. Find and download all the MDF Toolkits and Publications page.
