<meta name="description" content="Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is characterized by the clinical triad of: joint contractures that begin in early childhood; slowly progressive muscle weakness and wasting initially in a humero-peroneal distribution that later extends to the scapular and pelvic girdle muscles; and cardiac involvement that may manifest as palpitations, presyncope and syncope, poor exercise tolerance, and congestive heart failure along with variable cardiac rhythm disturbances. Age of onset, severity, and progression of muscle and cardiac involvement demonstrate both inter- and intrafamilial variability. Clinical variability ranges from early onset with severe presentation in childhood to late onset with slow progression in adulthood. In general, joint contractures appear during the first two decades, followed by muscle weakness and wasting. Cardiac involvement usually occurs after the second decade and respiratory function may be impaired in some individuals.">

begin in early childhood; slowly progressive muscle weakness and wasting initially in a humero-peroneal distribution that later extends to the scapular and pelvic girdle muscles; and cardiac involvement that may manifest as palpitations, presyncope and syncope, poor exercise tolerance, and congestive heart failure along with variable cardiac rhythm disturbances. Age of onset, severity, and progression of muscle and cardiac involvement demonstrate both inter- and intrafamilial variability. Clinical variability ranges from early onset with severe presentation in childhood to late onset with slow progression in adulthood. In general, joint contractures appear during the first two decades, followed by muscle weakness and wasting. Cardiac involvement usually occurs after the second decade and respiratory function may be impaired in some individuals.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Diagnosis/testing.</h4><p>The diagnosis of EDMD is established in a proband with:</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>A clearly relevant clinical picture including limb muscle wasting and/or weakness and elbow or neck/spine joint contractures (cardiac disease may be missing in the first decades of life); AND</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>A hemizygous pathogenic variant in <i>EMD</i> or <i>FHL1</i>, a heterozygous pathogenic variant in <i>LMNA</i>, or (more rarely) biallelic pathogenic variants in <i>LMNA</i> identified by molecular genetic testing.</div></li></ul></div><div><h4 class="inline">Management.</h4><p><i>Treatment of manifestations</i>: Treatment for cardiac arrhythmias, AV conduction disorders, congestive heart failure, including antiarrhythmic drugs, cardiac pacemaker, implantable cardioverter defibrillator; heart transplantation for the end stages of heart failure as appropriate; respiratory aids (respiratory muscle training, assisted coughing techniques, mechanical ventilation) as needed.
