Elevated TGF \u3b22 serum levels in Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy: Implications for myocyte and tenocyte differentiation and fibrogenic processes [PDF]
Among rare diseases caused by mutations in LMNA gene, Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy type 2 and Limb-Girdle muscular Dystrophy 1B are characterized by muscle weakness and wasting, joint contractures, cardiomyopathy with conduction system disorders ...

LMNA-Cardiomyopathy in Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy is a rare disease resulting from a genetic defect in nuclear envelope proteins, most commonly in emerin and lamin A/C.

Mechanical Stress Triggers Premature Senescence in Cardiac Fibroblasts
Cellular senescence contributes to disease burden in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and aging, highlighting the need to understand its induction. In primary cardiac fibroblasts, reduced strain and increased frequency, mimicking CVD, elicit a distinct senescent phenotype compared to oxidative stress.

Novel LMNA Mutation in a Taiwanese Family with Autosomal Dominant Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is characterized by early-onset contractures, slowly progressive weakness, and muscle wasting in humeroperoneal muscles, and adult-onset cardiomyopathy with conduction block. We analyzed blood samples from an EDMD

In six patients from five families, we identified two novel exon 363 pathogenic variants causing recessive titinopathies. Patients with a recurrent Eastern European founder variant presented with juvenile distal titinopathy, while a Belgian family showed an early‐onset titinopathy with contractures.

Myopathic lamin mutations impair nuclear stability in cells and tissue and disrupt nucleo-cytoskeletal coupling [PDF]
Lamins are intermediate filament proteins that assemble into a meshwork underneath the inner nuclear membrane, the nuclear lamina. Mutations in the LMNA gene, encoding lamins A and C, cause a variety of diseases collectively called laminopathies.
