-
A multisystemic disease characterised by the association of proximal muscle weakness with myotonia, cardiac manifestations and cataract. Patients usually present during adulthood. There are no reports of congenital or childhood onset but a rare juvenile form of the disease has been described. The disease is transmitted in an autosomal dominant manner and is caused by expansion of a CCTG repeat in intron 1 of the CNBP gene (3q21).
