Specialized doctors worldwide

Who is conducting research into myotonic dystrophy? Everyone listed here comes from a public register: either as principal investigator of a study on ClinicalTrials.gov, or as last author of publications in PubMed. These are two different things, so we list them in two separate lists next to each other rather than merging them into one figure.

Where these doctors work
Click or point to a dot to see who works there. 23 of the 75 doctors are shown on the map — we only place those who work at an institution whose city we know, and do not guess for the rest.

This is not a referral and not a judgment on care. We know nothing about how these people treat, whether they accept patients, or how to reach them. We do not display contact details. If you want a second opinion or a referral, go through your own specialist.
