Familial Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Isolated Left Ventricular Noncompaction Associated With Lamin A/C Gene Mutations [PDF]
[Abstract] LMNA mutations have been associated with familial or sporadic dilated cardiomyopathy (DC), with or without conduction system disease. We studied the LMNA gene in 67 consecutive patients with DC (18 had familial DC, 17 had possible familial DC,

A novel SYNE1 gene mutation in a Chinese family of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy-like
Background In the present study, a novel mutation in exon 46 at codon 2304 (G2304R) of the SYNE1 gene is described in a Chinese family (proband, mother, and sister) with Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy-like, which clinically manifests as muscle ...
