Emery-dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy 1, X-linked; Edmd1

Description

Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy is a degenerative myopathy characterized by weakness and atrophy of muscle without involvement of the nervous system. Flexion deformities of the elbows dating from early childhood, mild pectus excavatum, signs of cardiac involvement and absence of muscle pseudohypertrophy, involvement of the forearm muscles, and mental retardation distinguish the Emery-Dreifuss form (EDMD1) from the Becker form (OMIM ). Genetic Heterogeneity of Emery-Dreifuss Muscular DystrophyAutosomal dominant Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy-2 (EDMD2 ), is caused by mutation in the lamin A/C gene (LMNA ); autosomal recessive EDMD3 (OMIM ) is also caused by mutation in the LMNA gene. Additional autosomal dominant forms include EDMD4 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the SYNE1 gene (OMIM ), EDMD5 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the SYNE2 gene (OMIM ), and EDMD7 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the TMEM43 gene (OMIM ). A second X-linked form (EDMD6; see {300696}) is caused by mutation in the FHL1 gene (OMIM ).
