A Novel EMD Mutation Identified by Whole-Exome Sequencing in Twins with Emery–Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy

Abstract

This case reports a novel hemizygous frameshift EMD mutation (c.487delA, p.Ser163fs) in twins of an Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy family with severe cardiac involvement and mild muscle weakness. Their mother carried the same heterozygous mutation.
