TMEM43 and Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy: The autosomal dominant and recessive forms of EDMD affect both males and females equally, whereas the X-linked form primarily manifests in males, with some female carriers also exhibiting clinical features [2-4]. Several genes, including EMD, LMNA, SYNE1, SYNE2, FHL1, and TMEM43, have been linked to EDMD and assigned to specific subtypes (EDMD1, EDMD2 and EDMD3, EDMD4, EDMD5, EDMD6, and EDMD7, respectively), as catalogued in the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database.
