We report linkage studies between Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) and polymorphic probes from the long arm of chromosome X in two pedigrees. The results don't show significant linkage but are consistent with previous localisation of EDMD in Xq28. Further studies will be necessary to apply molecular biology to genetic counselling and prenatal diagnosis of this disease.
