Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy [PDF]

European Journal of Human Genetics, 2002
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is characterised by early contractures, slowly progressive muscle wasting and weakness with a distinctive humero-peroneal distribution and cardiac conduction defects leading to dilated cardiomyopathy. The genes known to be responsible for EDMD encode proteins associated with the nuclear envelope: the emerin and ...

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

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

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 ...

Implementing a Tiered Genetic Testing Strategy for Muscular Dystrophies in Morocco: From Targeted Assays to Exome Sequencing. [PDF]

Mol Genet Genomic Med
Targeted routine testing combined with NGS approaches enabled effective genetic diagnosis of muscular dystrophies in Moroccan patients, with nearly half of cases resolved by first‐line testing and additional diagnoses obtained through targeted sequencing and whole‐exome sequencing.

Pain Experiences and Prescription Pain Medications Among People With Selected Muscular Dystrophies in the Muscular Dystrophy Surveillance, Tracking, and Research Network. [PDF]

Muscle Nerve
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Pain is a recognized symptom of muscular dystrophy (MD), but little is known about prescription pain medications in this population. We describe pain experiences and pain medications prescribed for individuals with selected MDs using population‐based surveillance data collected by the Muscular Dystrophy Surveillance, Tracking,

The nuclear envelope protein Net39 is essential for muscle nuclear integrity and chromatin organization

Nature Communications, 2021
The nuclear envelope tethers chromatin to the nuclear periphery to control genome architecture. Here, the authors show that Net39 preserves the integrity and gene expression of muscle nuclei in mice, and it may contribute to the pathogenesis of Emery ...

Generation of two iPSC lines (FAMRCi006-A and FAMRCi006-B) from patient with dilated cardiomyopathy and Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy associated with genetic variant LMNAp.Arg527Pro.

Stem Cell Research, 2020
Mutations in LMNA gene are known to cause a broad range of diseases called laminopathies. We have generated two induced pluripotent stem cell lines FAMRCi006-A and FAMRCi006-B from a patient carrying LMNA p.

Dropped head related lamin A/C associated congenital muscular dystrophy case; previously defined as emerydreifuss muscular dystrophy

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2020
Dropped head syndrome can be seen in many neuromuscular diseases. However, there are very few diseases in which neck extensors are weak among neuromuscular diseases.

Chronological and Spatial Distribution of Skeletal Muscle Fat Replacement in FHL1-Related Myopathies. [PDF]

Ann Clin Transl Neurol
ABSTRACT Objectives Variants in the FHL1 gene cause FHL1‐related myopathies (FHL1‐RMs), a group of neuromuscular disorders with diverse clinical presentations. This study aimed to comprehensively characterize the spatial and temporal patterns of skeletal muscle fat replacement throughout the whole body in FHL1‐RMs, to examine disease progression over ...
