OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is a genetically variable neuromuscular disease that has so far been linked to eight nuclear envelope (NE) proteins. We identified several novel EDMD alleles in NE transmembrane proteins involved in genome organisation using a two-step sequencing approach. Our sequencing approach also revealed a clinical overlap to other inherited muscular diseases raising questions if diagnostics should be done based on the clinical manifestation or the gene mutated.
