title: Thrombotic risk of muscular dystrophy: protein C deficiency, factor V Leiden, and myotonic dystrophy.
abstract: While patients with hereditary muscular disorder are more sedentary and believed to be at risk of thrombosis, there is little literature on thrombosis associated with hereditary muscular disorder. We report a rare case of double heterozygous type I protein C deficiency and factor V Leiden in a patient with classic myotonic dystrophy.
