Purpose:
Myotonic dystrophy (DM) and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) are inherited disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness and loss of muscle tissue. The goals of this Registry are to: 1. Help researchers collect and study information on how DM and FSHD affect people; 2. Help researchers recruit patients with DM and FSHD into clinical studies and trials; 3. Share information about opportunities and advances in DM and FSHD research with you, care providers, and researchers.
