Several types of EDMD laminopathies have been described: an autosomal‐dominant form linked to LMNA (EDMD2, OMIM #181350), an autosomal‐recessive form linked to LMNA (EDMD3, OMIM #616516), and an X‐linked form due to the EMD mutation (EDMD1, OMIM #616516) encoding the nuclear envelope protein emerin, which is a direct partner of lamins. The gene discussed is LMNA; the disease is Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy.
