Human genes for myotonic dystrophy type 2

Myotonic dystrophy type 2 [DOID:0050759]

A myotonic disease that is characterized by myotonia and progressive, proximal muscle wasting and weakness affecting the skeletal and smooth muscles of the neck, shoulders, elbows and hips and has_material_basis_in the autosomal dominant inheritance of the CNBP (ZNF9) gene containing an expansion of a CCTG repeat in intron one.

Synonyms:  myotonic dystrophy type 2,  DOID:0050759

The disease-gene associations are derived from automatic text mining of the biomedical literature, manually curated database annotations, cancer mutation data, and genome-wide association studies. The confidence of each association is signified by stars, where ★★★★★ is the highest confidence and ★☆☆☆☆ is the lowest.
