DM2 CNBP

Myotonic dystrophy type 2 (MD2), also known as proximal myotonic myopathy, is a very rare genetic multi-system disorder of late childhood or adult-onset characterized by mild myotonia, muscle weakness, and rarely cardiac conduction disorders¹.

Prevalence

2.29 100,000

2.29/100,000²; population specific prevalence³. Most cases have European ancestry, but disease has been reported worldwide³.

Age of Onset Details

Typical: 28-56⁴; Range: 0-73⁵.

Details

Detailed overview of disease locus through 2024 by Rimoldi et al⁶. ≤30 uninterrupted CCTG repeats or 11-26 CCTG repeats with GCTC/TCTG interruptions are considered benign; 27-29 repeats with interruptions have currently unknown significance, ~30-~54 repeats are considered premutations, ~55-74 repeats are premutations with possible reduced penetrance, and >74 repeat alleles are considered pathogenic³. Penetrance is age-dependent and approaches 100%. Locus structure is (TG)n(TCTG)n(CCTG)n. CCTG expansion causes DM2 but the other repeat units are also variable. Interruptions include GCTG/TCTG/GGCT⁷.

Mechanism

GoF

Aberrant splicing, RAN translation^8,9.
