    genetic disorder causing muscle weakness, joint contractures, and heart issues

    Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness, joint contractures, and heart problems. It typically affects the skeletal muscles and the heart, leading to difficulties in movement and an increased risk of cardiac complications. EDMD can be inherited in an X-linked, autosomal dominant, or autosomal recessive manner, depending on the specific genetic mutation involved.
