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

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

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

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

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

2011
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is a progressive muscle-wasting disorder defined by early contractures of the Achilles tendon, spine, and elbows. EDMD is also distinctive for its association with defects of the cardiac conduction system that can result in sudden death.

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 ...

Emery‐Dreifuss muscular dystrophy with unusual features

Muscle & Nerve, 1993
AbstractTwo families with Emery‐Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EMD) are described. Several unusual features for EMD are emphasized. One of the patients had severe neuromuscular disability with inability to walk during early childhood. This patient also had mild bifacial paresis. His brothers had the typical slow progression of EMD.
