A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.

Definition

EDMD is characterized by myopathic changes in certain skeletal muscles and early contractures at the neck, elbows, and Achilles tendons, as well as cardiac conduction defects. 'Classic' Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD1; 310300) is an X-linked disorder caused by mutation in the emerin gene (EMD; 300384) on Xq28 (Emery, 1989). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of EDMD, see 310300. [from OMIM]
