Boston, Massachusetts Highlights - 2024 Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation Regional Conference

Check out highlights from our 2024 MDF Regional Conference in Boston, MA in partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital and the Wheeler Muscular Dystrophy Research Lab.
This one-day conference provided a unique opportunity to bring our local communities closer together: share experiences, connect with local clinicians and researchers, and learn about the latest progress towards treatments and a cure for myotonic dystrophy. After a long pandemic that kept us apart and isolated, MDF was eager to provide a space where families could engage, learn, ask questions, and participate in meaningful conversations - without having to travel long distances.

Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is the most common form of adult muscular dystrophy and considered the most variable of all known conditions. It is a rare, multi-systemic, inherited disease that affects an estimated 1 in 2,100 people, or over 3.6 million individuals across the world. Millions of people are living with DM, yet most do not know they have the disease and are in need of care.
