Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy (EDMD) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by muscle weakness, joint contractures, and cardiac dysfunction. Within this spectrum, EDMD Type 2, attributed to a heterozygous missense variant in exon 9 of the LMNA gene, presents a distinctive clinical profile. This case report details the presentation and management of a teenage girl displaying neck, trunk, upper and lower limb weakness, Achilles tendon contracture, and lordosis.

Spermatogenesis is a highly complex and tightly regulated cellular differentiation process closely related to the productive performance of male livestock. We do not yet have a clear understanding of the spermatogenesis mechanism of buffalo. In this study, spermatogonia, spermatocytes and spermatids were analysed by flow cytometry.

Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome (HGPS) serves as a prominent model for Progeroid syndromes, a group of rare genetic disorders characterized by accelerated aging. This review explores the genetic basis, clinical presentation, and complications of HGPS. HGPS is caused by mutations in the LMNA gene, resulting in the production of a defective structural protein, prelamin A.

Adipose dystrophy, also known as lipodystrophy, is a heterogeneous disease characterized by the complete or partial loss of adipose tissue. In some cases, patients with lipodystrophy may exhibit fat accumulation in other areas of the body, as well as metabolic abnormalities such as insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, liver disease, and increased metabolic rate. The condition may also be associated with gene mutations, including those in acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 2 (AGPAT2), Berardinelli-Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy 2 (BSCL2), caveolin-1 (CAV1), polymerase I and transcript release factor (PTRF), lamins A (LMNA), zinc metalloproteinase (ZMPSTE24), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG), v-AKT murine thymoma oncogene homolog 2 (AKT2), perilipin 1 (PLIN1), and proteasome subunit, β-type, 8 (PSMB8).

Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy type 2 (EDMD2) is a rare autosomal dominant neuromuscular disorder caused by LMNA gene mutations and characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness and significant cardiac involvement. We report the case of a 45-year-old woman who presented with sudden-onset, left-sided hemiparesis and dysarthria. Initial imaging was unremarkable, and symptoms transiently improved, suggesting a transient ischemic attack.
