Tonight, landmarks across the world will glow green for International Myotonic Dystrophy Awareness Day. Myotonic dystrophy is the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy, and I’ve been proud to support the UAlbany RNA Institute’s efforts to develop treatments.
Today (September 15) is the International Myotonic Dystrophy Awareness Day. We join 60+ organizations worldwide to raise awareness, advance research, and improve care for those living with #MyotonicDystrophy.
#MyotonicDystrophyAwareness
Tomorrow, September 15, is International Myotonic Dystrophy (DM) Awareness Day. To raise awareness of DM, prominent New York landmarks will light up in green.
