Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD), clinically characterized by scapulo-humero-peroneal muscle atrophy and weakness, multi-joint contractures with spine rigidity and cardiomyopathy with conduction defects, is associated with structural/functional defect of genes that encode the proteins of nuclear envelope, including lamin A and several lamin-interacting proteins. This paper presents clinical aspects of EDMD in context to causative genes, genotype-phenotype correlation and its emplacement within phenotypic spectrum of skeletal muscle diseases associated with envelopathies.
先天性肌营养不良症(EDMD),临床上以肩胛肱腓肌萎缩和无力、多关节挛缩伴脊柱僵硬和传导缺陷性心肌病为特征,与编码核膜蛋白的基因的结构/功能缺陷有关,包括核纤层蛋白 A 和几种核纤层蛋白相互作用蛋白。本文介绍了 EDMD 的临床特征、致病基因、基因型-表型相关性及其在与 envelopathies 相关的骨骼肌疾病表型谱中的定位。
