[Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy].

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...

[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 (...

Anaesthetic management of a patient with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy.

Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy is a rare form of muscular dystrophy associated with cardiac implications such as cardiomyopathy and arrhythmias leading to sudden death. We describe the anesthetic management of a patient with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy who presented for orthopaedic surgery and discuss the disorder and its potential anaesthetic implications.

Molecular 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...
