LMNA-related muscular dystrophy: Identification of variants in alternative genes and personalized clinical translation

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2023
Background: Laminopathies are caused by rare alterations in LMNA, leading to a wide clinical spectrum. Though muscular dystrophy begins at early ages, disease progression is different in each patient. We investigated variability in laminopathy phenotypes

Familial Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Isolated Left Ventricular Noncompaction Associated With Lamin A/C Gene Mutations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
[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,
