✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A man had weakness of humeroperoneal distribution associated with limited range of motion of the cervical spine and elbows. At age 25 he developed permanent atrial paralysis, and a cardiac pacemaker was inserted. Although this case was sporadic, most others have been transmitted as an X‐linked recessive trait. Mixed patterns in electromyography and muscle histology have caused nosological confusion, but the unique clinical signs seem to define a distinct form of muscular dystrophy, warranting the designation “Emery‐Dreifuss” type.

## Abstract The diagnosis of Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is suggested by the combination of musculoskeletal weakness and wasting, joint contractures, and cardiac disease.

## Communicated by Jiirgen Horst Mutations in the emerin gene, also referred to as the STA-or EMD-gene, have been found to be the cause of X-linked Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EMD). For the present study an optimized set of primers was designed to amplify and sequence each of the six emerin
