RESULTS The patients within our family case all presented esotropia, with or without a vertical oculomotor disorder. [unboundmedicine.com]

[…] type II, which may be very mild and not present until the third or fourth decade of life. [britannica.com]
However a more severe presentation tends to occur from autosomal recessive variants [ 14 ]. [nature.com]

Treatment may include medication and physical therapy. Although it is rarely necessary, surgery may be included in treatment of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. [shrinershospitalsforchildren.org]
The Treatment for Friedreich's Ataxia There are currently no treatments for FA. Patients are monitored for symptom management. FARA is funding research to find treatments and a cure. We believe the treatment era for FA is now! [curefa.org]
Authors' conclusions: Due to insufficient good quality data and lack of randomised studies, it is impossible to determine whether drug treatment is safe and effective in the treatment of myotonia. [cochrane.org]
Prognosis
Pathophysiology is emphasized throughout, providing a sound basis for discussions of the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis that follow. [books.google.com]
Prognosis The prognosis for individuals with ataxia and cerebellar/spinocerebellar degeneration varies depending on its underlying cause. [urmc.rochester.edu]
Prognosis The outlook depends on many factors, including when symptoms start (there is a poorer prognosis the earlier the symptoms begin), how bad the symptoms are and the quality of medical care. [drugs.com]
Prognosis Research into the biochemistry, neurobiology, and biophysics of central and peripheral nerves, heart and skeletal muscle, and the interactions between muscle and nerve to uncover the pathological process of Friedreich’s ataxia is being carried [brainfoundation.org.au]
What is the prognosis? Most cases of myotonia congenita are non-progressive and relatively non-limiting. [mda.org.au]
Etiology
Etiology Both forms of the disease (Thomsen myotonia and Becker myotonia) are caused by loss of function mutations in the gene encoding the chloride channel ( CLCN1 ) that plays a role in muscle cell repolarisation. [orpha.net]
