Professional activity of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy patients in Poland
Objectives: Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is a very rare genetic disorder affecting skeletal and heart muscles. The aim of this study was to identify factors which might influence the ability to work in EDMD patients in Poland.

Scapuloperoneal syndrome type Kaeser and a wide phenotypic spectrum of adult-onset, dominant myopathies are associated with the desmin mutation R350P [PDF]
In 1965, an adult-onset, autosomal dominant disorder with a peculiar scapuloperoneal distribution of weakness and atrophy was described in a large, multi-generation kindred and named ‘scapuloperoneal syndrome type Kaeser' (OMIM #181400).

An Extremely Rare Cause of Rhabdomyolysis: Emery Dreifuss Syndrome
Intense physical activity, medications and trauma are common causes of rhabdomyolysis. However, etiologic factor of rhabdomyolysis can not be determined in a remarkable proportion of the cases.

Clinical-Diagnostic Features of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in Children [PDF]
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a severe, progressive disease that affects about 1 out of every 5,000 male infants; this is the most destructive of all muscular dystrophies, which worsens rapidly.

Three-Dimensional Human iPSC-Derived Artificial Skeletal Muscles Model Muscular Dystrophies and Enable Multilineage Tissue Engineering [PDF]
Generating human skeletal muscle models is instrumental for investigating muscle pathology and therapy. Here, we report the generation of three-dimensional (3D) artificial skeletal muscle tissue from human pluripotent stem cells, including induced ...

Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) stems from pathogenic variants in LMNA. We generated two patient-specific iPSC lines from peripheral blood: SCVIi145-A carrying LMNA c.241T > C (p.Tyr81His) and SCVIi146-A carrying LMNA c.357-2A > G.
