Cardiac involvement in Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy
Clinical Genetics, 2005Emery–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, 1986We 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, 1984Emery-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
2013Emery-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, 2007Emery-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, 1979AbstractA 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, 1999Emery-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, 1991Orthopedic 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
2011Emery-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.

Emery‐Dreifuss muscular dystrophy with unusual features
Muscle & Nerve, 1993AbstractTwo 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.
