The Structural Basis of ZMPSTE24-Dependent Laminopathies
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
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
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.

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
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 ...

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.
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 ...

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.

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 ...
