Two distal mutations in the gene encoding emerin have profoundly different effects on emerin protein expression.

Abstract excerpt

Emerin, the product of the gene responsible for X-linked Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD), has a ubiquitous tissue distribution and is localised to the nuclear envelope. We present here the relationship between emerin protein expression, nuclear localization and clinical phenotype for two distal mutations identified in unrelated EDMD patients. The first mutation predicts the replacement of the last eight...
