There are other differences that are associated with with these myotonic dystrophy’s such as the disease onset. The age of onset for individuals with type one myotonic dystrophy is 0 <20 while type two individuals with type two myotonic dystrophy is 0 >20. Type two myotonic dystrophy late onset have been found to lead to a larger phenotypic variability, symptoms may be progressively less[8]. Between both type one and type two myotonic dystrophy there are proposed mechanism that are responsible such as changes in gene expression, protein translation and micro- RNA
