Previous histological findings, physiological data, and behavioral observations on the A-type lamin knockout mouse (Lmna(-/-)) suggest that important aspects of this model resemble the human Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) phenotype. The main goal of our experiments was to study skeletal and cardiac muscle function in this murine model to obtain the semiquantitative data needed for more detailed...
