Article Synopsis
- - Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is a neuromuscular disorder that leads to muscle weakness and heart problems, mainly caused by mutations in specific genes, identified through next-generation sequencing (NGS).
- - The study examined two Moroccan patients with EDMD, revealing one with a known splicing variant and another with a new frameshift variant, along with testing relatives for carrier status.
- - The findings highlight NGS as crucial for accurately diagnosing EDMD, managing patient care, and providing genetic counseling to affected families.
Mitral valve masses are uncommon. These tumors and tumor-like lesions may have similar morphological and clinical characteristics, but different outcomes. Unlike valvular tumors, caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is a benign degenerative disorder, commonly misdiagnosed, thus differentiating it from other mitral valve masses is important to avoid unnecessary surgery.
