Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD2) is a rare form of muscular dystrophy that is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. In some patients, it is inherited from parental mosaicism, and this increases the recurrence risk significantly. The presence of mosaicism is underestimated due to the limitations of genetic testing and the difficulty in obtaining samples. METHODS: A peripheral blood sample...
