The Structural Basis of ZMPSTE24-Dependent Laminopathies

open access: yesScience, 2013
Lamin Loppers The nuclear lamina provides mechanical stability to the nuclear envelope and is involved in regulation of cellular processes such as DNA replication. Defects in the nuclear lamina lead to diseases such as progeria and metabolic disorders.

Hepatocyte-Specific Deletion of Mouse Lamin A/C Leads to Male-Selective SteatohepatitisSummary

open access: yesCellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2017
Background & Aims: Lamins are nuclear intermediate filament proteins that comprise the major components of the nuclear lamina. Mutations in LMNA, which encodes lamins A/C, cause laminopathies, including lipodystrophy, cardiomyopathy, and premature aging

Chromatin dysfunction in stem cells facilitates aging in laminopathy-based progeria

open access: yes, 2023
Nuclear lamins, including A- and B-type lamins, are type V intermediate filament (IF) proteins that are ubiquitously expressed in vertebrates. A variety of human diseases are caused by LMNA mutations, collectively called laminopathies.

Case reports of a c.475G>T, p.E159* lamin A/C mutation with a family history of conduction disorder, dilated cardiomyopathy and sudden cardiac death

open access: yesBMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2019
Background Patients with some mutations in the lamin A/C (LMNA) gene are characterized by the presence of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), conduction abnormalities, ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT), and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Various clinical features

Inflammatory myopathy in the context of an unusual overlapping laminopathy

open access: yesArchives of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2018
Summary Laminopathies are genetic disorders associated with alterations in nuclear envelope proteins, known as lamins. The LMNA gene encodes lamins A and C, and LMNA mutations have been linked to diseases involving fat (type 2 familial partial ...

Progerin sequestration of PCNA promotes replication fork collapse and mislocalization of XPA in laminopathy‐related progeroid syndromes

open access: yes, 2017
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare genetic disorder that is caused by a point mutation in the LMNA gene, resulting in production of a truncated farnesylated-prelamin A protein (progerin).We previously reported that XPAmislocalized to ...

Linking skeletal muscle aging with osteoporosis by lamin A/C deficiency.

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2020
The nuclear lamina protein lamin A/C is a key component of the nuclear envelope. Mutations in the lamin A/C gene (LMNA) are identified in patients with various types of laminopathy-containing diseases, which have features of accelerated aging and ...

Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells from a newly identified type of laminopathy - 'proof of principle'.

open access: yes, 2011
Laminopathies constitute a family of disease caused by mutations in the lamin proteins which includes lamin A/C and lamin B1/2. Recently, a new type of laminopathy characterised by inherited heart disease and limb abnormalities was identified.

The accumulation of un-repairable DNA damage in laminopathy progeria fibroblasts is caused by ROS generation and is prevented by treatment with N-acetyl cysteine

open access: yes, 2011
Fibroblasts from patients with the severe laminopathy diseases, Restrictive Dermopathy (RD) & Hutchinson Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS), are characterised by poor growth in culture, the presence of abnormally shaped nuclei and the accumulation of DNA ...
