Cardiac involvement in Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy

Clinical Genetics, 2005
Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is a common form of muscular dystrophy frequently involving cardiac muscle, thus leading to dilated cardiomyopathy. Clinical outcome and prognosis is frequently determined by the involvement of the cardiac conduction system causing symptomatic bradyarrhythmias, as well as tachyarrhythmias and, if untreated ...

The rigid spine syndrome and Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy

Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, 1986
We present five patients, three of whom suffered from a rigid spine syndrome and two from Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. One patient with rigid spine syndrome showed a nonprogressive course, normal cardiac rhythm and mild myopathic changes in muscle histology, while in the other two patients there was a rapidly progressive course, sinus tachycardia

Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1984
Emery-Dreifuss dystrophy, an X-linked disorder, is a recently recognized distinct neuromuscular disease with special pediatric implications. We describe three affected boys with the typical early contractures and weakness. Two patients are from a large kindred that includes older affected males and carrier females, both of whom had lethal cardiac ...

Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy

2013
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is a genetically heterogeneous muscular disease characterized by the triad of (1) early contractures of the elbows, ankles, and cervical spine; (2) humero-peroneal muscle wasting and weakness; and (3) cardiomyopathy (Emery AE, Dreifuss FE, J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry, 29:338–342, 1966).

Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2007
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is inherited in an X-linked or autosomal manner. X-linked EDMD is caused by mutations in EMD, which encodes an integral protein of the nuclear envelope inner membrane called emerin. Autosomally inherited EDMD is caused by mutations in LMNA, which encodes A-type nuclear lamins, intermediate filament proteins ...

Emery‐dreifuss muscular dystrophy

Annals of Neurology, 1979
AbstractA man had weakness of humeroperoneal distribution associated with limited range of motion of the cervical spine and elbows. At age 25 he developed permanent atrial paralysis, and a cardiac pacemaker was inserted. Although this case was sporadic, most others have been transmitted as an X‐linked recessive trait. Mixed patterns in electromyography

Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy

Seminars in Neurology, 1999
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is the third most common X-linked muscular dystrophy. This disorder is characterized by childhood onset of early contractures, humeroperoneal muscle atrophy, and cardiac conduction abnormalities. Weakness is slowly progressive, but there is a broad spectrum of clinical severity. Patients and carriers are at risk

Orthopedic Deformities in Emery–Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1991
Orthopedic deformities in Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy are discussed based on a study of four patients and an extensive literature review. The condition is characterized by slowly progressive humeroperoneal muscle weakness; ankle equinus, elbow flexion, and neck extensor muscle contractures; paravertebral muscle tightness; and cardiac ...
