Myotonic dystrophy types 1 and 2 are autosomal dominant muscle disorders characterized by progressive weakness and multisystem features, with type 1 being more severe due to CTG repeat expansion in the DMPK gene. Primary hypogonadism affects about 80% of men with the condition, leading to infertility and hormonal imbalances. Treatment options are limited, focusing on managing symptoms and providing genetic counseling for affected individuals.
