Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. [PDF]

Muscle Nerve, 2020
AbstractEmery‐Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is a rare muscular dystrophy, but is particularly important to diagnose due to frequent life‐threatening cardiac complications. EDMD classically presents with muscle weakness, early contractures, cardiac conduction abnormalities and cardiomyopathy, although the presence and severity of these ...

Disruption of Nuclear‐Cytoskeletal Linkage by Coil‐1a LMNA Mutations in Emery–Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy [PDF]

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Background Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is a progressive genetic myopathy that mainly affects the muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles) and the heart (cardiac muscles).

Clinical aspects of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. [PDF]

Nucleus, 2018
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD), clinically characterized by scapulo-humero-peroneal muscle atrophy and weakness, multi-joint contractures with spine rigidity and cardiomyopathy with conduction defects, is associated with structural/functional defect of genes that encode the proteins of nuclear envelope, including lamin A and several lamin ...

A multistage sequencing strategy pinpoints novel candidate alleles for Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy and supports gene misregulation as its pathomechanism [PDF]

EBioMedicine, 2020
Background: As genome-wide approaches prove difficult with genetically heterogeneous orphan diseases, we developed a new approach to identify candidate genes.

Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy Type 1 is associated with a high risk of malignant ventricular arrhythmias and end-stage heart failure. [PDF]

Eur Heart J, 2023
Background and Aims Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is caused by variants in EMD (EDMD1) and LMNA (EDMD2). Cardiac conduction defects and atrial arrhythmia are common to both, but LMNA variants also cause end-stage heart failure (ESHF) and ...
