Becker's variant of myotonia congenita in two siblings--a clinico-genetic study.
We report a family of a brother and sister of myotonia congenita, conforming to autosomal recessive transmission (Becker's variety). To the best of our knowledge, no account of a family of autosomal recessive myotonia (Becker's disease), has earlier been reported from India.
