摘要: Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is inherited in an X-linked or autosomal manner. EDMD caused by mutations EMD, which encodes integral protein of the nuclear envelope inner membrane called emerin. Autosomally LMNA, A-type lamins, intermediate filament proteins associated with membrane. Although causative have been described and mouse models created, pathogenic processes genes encoding cause striated muscle abnormalities remain obscure. Working hypotheses include effects on structural integrity, increased cellular susceptibility to mechanical stress damage, alterations gene expression response changes, cell proliferation differentiation.
