What is the life expectancy of someone with Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy?
Life expectancy of people with Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy and recent progresses and researches in Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy
OPMD does not necessarily affect life expectancy. Many live into their 80's and 90's.

Since my granddad passed away 25 years ago due to OPMD. I cannot see big improvements on the cure/treatment of this disease. To be honest, we are very little group of people in the world with this disease and I do not know how much effort/money would invest any pharmaceutical in us :-(

That is relevant. Every one is different

I’ve not seen any study on life expectancy, OPMD will affect each person differently and so each case is unique. The factor to remember is to not loose hope. While science tells us there a times we can live without water and food, the moment we loose hope we begin to loose life.
