title: A novel emerin mutation in a Japanese patient with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy.
abstract: Sequencing of the STA gene in a patient with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy showed a 1-bp deletion of C at nucleotide 672 or 673. This deletion causes a frameshift, changing the amino acid sequence (amino acids 206-235) and generating an early stop codon.
