    This 41-year-old woman was first eval- uated at 24 years of age after presenting with right- sided horizontal diplopia and dizziness. She under- went a cranial MRI and serologic and CSF studies and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. [dev.docslide.net]

  • Mild Facial Weakness

    She had mild facial weakness that did not disturb whistling, smil- ing, or eye closure. Severe wasting was present in the shoulder and pelvic girdles, deltoid, and quad- riceps muscles. [dev.docslide.net]

  • Dizziness

    Since that time, she has had several episodes of dizziness, paresthesia, or motor discoordination in the upper limbs, along with progressive arreflexic lower limb weakness. [dev.docslide.net]

    The only symptoms he reported were sporadic dizziness and fatigue during sports activities, but no pre-syncope, syncope or palpitations. His personal history included previous diagnoses of allergic asthma and rhinitis. [elsevier.pt]

[…] are the most frequent genetic cause of dilated cardiomyopathy, accounting for 6– 8% of all primary dilated cardiomyopathies and up to 40% when conduction disorders are present.17–19 LMNA mutations have been shown to be associ- ated with a very poor prognosis [dev.docslide.net]

The management is aimed more at treating the symptoms and controlling the complications (if any) The prognosis depends on the severity of the muscle contractures and the degree of cardiac involvement Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy is a genetic disorder [dovemed.com]

Prognosis Without serious heart involvement, most people with EDMD are expected to survive at least into middle age. Slow progression of muscle involvement allows most patients to walk and work until middle age or late adult life. [mda.org.au]

Therefore, prognosis for subjects carrying or at risk of carrying D4Z4 reduced alleles h ... [5wo.tatter.us]

The most common etiology of autosomal dominant EDMD is an LMNA gene mutation; LMNA encodes the intermediate filament protein lamins A and C, which constitute the major scaffolding protein of the inner nuclear membrane. [scholars.northwestern.edu]

(Etiology) Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy is caused by mutations in the EMD or LMNA gene. [dovemed.com]

Both genetic and environmental factors have been implicated in BD etiology, but the biological underpinnings remain elusive. [scinapse.io]
