First seen Feb 02, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study looks at how myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) affects the brain. Many people with DM2 have trouble thinking clearly, but we don't know much about why. Researchers will use MRI scans, thinking and movement tests, and blood samples to compare people with DM2, DM1, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to find brain changes that could be used to track the disease in future studies.
