Laminopathies in Russian families

Clinical Genetics, 2008
Mutations in LMNA gene produce a wide spectrum of disorders called laminopathies. In this article, the first cases of laminopathies from Russia are reported. In 10 unrelated families, 9 different mutations were identified: Asp47His, Gly232Arg, c.[781_783delAAG, 781insGTGGAGCAGTATAAGAAA], Arg249Gln (in two families), Arg377His, Arg541His, Ala350Pro ...

Restrictive dermopathy: a rare laminopathy

Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics, 2008
Restrictive dermopathy (RD) belongs to the laminopathies and mostly shows an autosomal recessive heredity pattern. This rare genetic disorder is lethal for the newborn in the neonatal period. Clinical and pathological findings are distinctive and allow for a specific diagnosis in most cases.

The laminopathies: a clinical review

Clinical Genetics, 2006
The laminopathies are a diverse group of conditions caused by mutations in the LMNA gene (MIM*150330). LMNA encodes the nuclear envelope proteins lamin A and lamin C by utilization of an alternative splice site in exon 10. The human LMNA gene was identified in 1986 but it was another 13 years before it was found to be the causative gene for a disease ...

Human laminopathies: nuclei gone genetically awry

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2006
Few genes have generated as much recent interest as LMNA, LMNB1 and LMNB2, which encode the components of the nuclear lamina. Over 180 mutations in these genes are associated with at least 13 known diseases--the laminopathies. In particular, the study of LMNA, its products and the phenotypes that result from its mutation have provided important ...

Involvement of Prelamin A in Laminopathies

Critical Reviews™ in Eukaryotic Gene Expression, 2007
The precursor protein of the nuclear lamina constituent lamin A is a 74-kDa protein called prelamin A which undergoes subsequent steps of posttranslational modification at its C-terminal CaaX residue. The unexpected finding that accumulation of unprocessable prelamin A is the molecular basis of the most severe laminopathies so far identified, including

Laminopathies and lamin‐associated signaling pathways

Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, 2011
AbstractLaminopathies are genetic diseases due to mutations or altered post‐translational processing of nuclear envelope/lamina proteins. The majority of laminopathies are caused by mutations in the LMNA gene, encoding lamin A/C, but manifest as diverse pathologies including muscular dystrophy, lipodystrophy, neuropathy, and progeroid syndromes.

Genetics of laminopathies.

Novartis Foundation symposium, 2005
Laminopathies are now recognized as a group of disorders due to mutations of the LMNA gene, which encodes A-type lamins. Primarily, mutations in LMNA have been associated to the autosomal forms of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, a rare slowly progressive humero-peroneal muscular dystrophy accompanied by early contractures and dilated cardiomyopathy ...

Recent insights in striated muscle laminopathies

Current Opinion in Neurology
Purpose of review To highlight recent insights in different aspects of striated muscle laminopathies (SMLs) related to LMNA mutations. Recent findings Clinical and genetic studies allow better patient management and diagnosis, with confirmation of ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTA ...

[Cardiac manifestations of laminopathies].

Archives des maladies du coeur et des vaisseaux, 2005
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) of genetic origin represents about 25% of all so-called primary DCM. Cases due to mutation of the gene which codes the lamins A and C (LMNA) carry a poor prognosis with a high risk of sudden death. The finding of primary DCM in a young person associated with conduction defects or arrhythmias should lead to investigation for
