EMD and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy: Further, there are muscular dystrophies with similar symptoms to FSHD, that are linked with genes of the nuclear envelope: striated muscle laminopathies (e.g. Emery–Dreifuss-muscular-dystrophy and limb-girdle-muscular-dystrophy 1B) are caused by mutations in EMD, LMNA or SYNE1, among others.
