What are the diagnostic criteria for OPMD?

Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is a genetic disorder typically manifesting in mid-adulthood with a prevalence estimated at 1 in 100,000 to 200,000 people in Europe. The diagnosis of OPMD is based on a combination of clinical observations, genetic testing, and occasionally, other supporting tests. Understanding the diagnostic criteria for OPMD is crucial for proper and timely medical intervention.
