Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on evidence linking the gene product to a pathway or mechanism linked to ageing
Description

EMD is likely involved in nuclear structure and stabilization. Mutations in EMD cause Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy [618]. Some mutations in LMNA also cause the same disease. The relation between EMD and LMNA, and the functions of EMD in the nuclear lamina [1307], may indicate a role for EMD in ageing, even though at present this is just an unproven hypothesis.
