Abstract:
Myotonic dystrophy 1 (DM1) is a multi-system disorder characterized by endocrine defects that include testicular and tubular atrophy, oligospermia and azoospermia, and increased follicle-stimulating hormone levels. We describe a rare case of DM1 presenting as infertility in a 29-year-old man.
