Among muscular dystrophies, EDMD1 is linked to emerin mutations (EMD gene), EDMD2 and limb -girdle muscular dystrophy type 1B are caused by dominant lamin A/C mutations (LMNA gene), other forms of EDMD are caused by nesprin (SYNE1 and SYNE2 genes), FHL1, SUN1, or SUN2 mutations (Table 1) [1,30]. The gene discussed is LMNA; the disease is Autosomal dominant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1B.
