Re: Is the a screening test for the gene that causes MC?

Chris, I have never known someone with myotonia congenita whose muscle biopsy was not inconclusive. It's painful, leaves a scar, and is totally unnecessary these days unless all the DNA tests for myotonic disorders come back negative. Then it can help confirm something like a glycogen storage disease.
