Abstract excerpt
Ultrastructural alterations in the nuclear architecture were found in skeletal muscle and skin cultured cells from a patient affected by X-linked Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EMD) carrying a null mutation. The molecular defect of X-linked EMD is the absence of emerin, a nuclear envelope-associated protein which is considered a component of the nuclear lamina. The nuclear changes were present in skeletal...
