Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy: anatomical-clinical correlation (case report).
We report on a man that had weakness of humeroperoneal distribution associated with limited range of motion of the cervical spine and elbows since he was 5 years old. At age 26 he developed tachycardia episodes. A complex arrhythmia was discovered, and a nodal ablation was done with a cardiac pacemaker implanted. The patient had an arrhythmia and sudden death followed this. Emery-Dreifuss muscu...
متن کامل[Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy: case report].
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy type 1 (EDMD1) is a familial disease with X-Linked recessive transmission, caused by a mutation in a nuclear envelope protein, emerin. Clinical manifestations usually occur in adolescence and include contractures, muscle atrophy and weakness, and cardiac conduction disturbances. We describe the case of a young male, aged 16, with first-degree atrioventricular (...

Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is an inherited muscular disorder characterized by the triad of progressive weakness in humero-peroneal muscles, early onset contractures and cardiomyopathy with conduction block that shows a high risk of sudden death. In 1994, the gene responsible for X-linked EDMD has been identified to Xq28 (designated as STA), that encodes a serine-rich protein of 25...
متن کاملEmery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy (EDMD) Panel
The EDMD Panel provides a high quality read-out of all clinically relevant genes associated with channelopathies and ARVC. Our OS-SeqTM technology provides high coverage clinical grade sequencing and enables reliable diagnostics for patients with significantly lower costs and faster turnaround time (basic service TAT 21 days and express service TAT 7-10 days). The EDMD Panel has undergone rigor...
متن کاملMolecular signatures of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy.
Mutations in genes encoding the nuclear envelope proteins emerin and lamin A/C lead to a range of tissue-specific degenerative diseases. These include dilated cardiomyopathy, limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and X-linked and autosomal dominant EDMD (Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy). The molecular mechanisms underlying these disorders are poorly understood; however, recent work using animal mode...
