Abstract excerpt
The X-linked form of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (X-EDMD) is caused by absence, or greatly reduced amounts, of the inner nuclear-membrane protein, emerin. The autosomal dominant form (AD-EDMD) is caused by missense mutations in lamins A and C, two components of the nuclear lamina that interact directly with emerin. Lamin A/C mutations also cause one form of dilated cardiomyopathy (CMD1A) and one form of...
