Objectives: The aim of our study was to compare the ultrastructure of myonuclei in both forms of Emery-Dreifuss dystrophy (EDMD)-X-linked and dominantly autosomally transmitted. The muscle biopsies were taken from rectus femoris in four X-linked EDMD cases and three ADEDMD cases. Methods: The biopsies were evaluated using immunocytochemical staining to establish emerin or A/C lamins deficiency. The muscle ultrastructure, especially that of nuclei, was analysed to find out whether there are differences between the two forms of EDMD. Results: In both forms of EDMD, there was an aberrant nuclear architecture. In the X-linked form, the breakdown of fragile nuclear membrane and presence of nucleoplasm extrusion were a distinct feature. In the AD from, there was chromatin reorganization and loss of nucleoplasm volume. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
