Prevalence[edit | edit source]
There are approximately 250,000 individuals in the United States affected by some type of muscular dystrophy.[1]
The incidence of X-linked Emery Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy is estimated to affect 1 in 100,000 people in the general population 3,4, and it is believed to be the third most common type of muscular dystrophy.[1] X-linked EDMD is fully expressed in males only; however, 10-20% of female carriers for X-linked EDMD will develop heart conduction defects and/or muscle weakness.
The frequency of autosomal dominant EDMD is unknown. The autosomal recessive type of the disorder is very rare, with only a few reported cases worldwide. 4 The autosomal types of EDMD affect males and females equally. [1]
