Abstract
Three patients are described with muscular dystrophy and contractures. Although this disorder bears similarities to Emery-Dreifuss disease and variants previously described, absence of cardiomyopathy is a distinguishing feature. Electrodiagnostic testing and muscle biopsy are consistent with a myopathy. An autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance is suspected, but the possibility of a Y-to-Y transmission cannot be completely excluded.Keywords
