Coexistence of X-linked recessive Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy with inclusion body myositis-like morphology.

Abstract excerpt

We reported three cases (two familial and one sporadic) of X-linked Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD), genetically documented. Two patients demonstrated a typical inclusion body myositis (IBM)-like morphology. The third patient had only minor changes.
