On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
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.
