OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, 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.
