Laminopathies: A chromatin affair

Advances in Enzyme Regulation, 2006
In the last 5 years, an impressive series of genetic diseases (16 distinct diseased phenotypes have been so far identified), affecting metabolic and/or developmental processes, have been demonstrated to be caused by mutation of LMNA gene and collectively referred to as laminopathies.

Striated muscle laminopathies

Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2014
Lamins A and C, encoded by LMNA, are constituent of the nuclear lamina, a meshwork of proteins underneath the nuclear envelope first described as scaffolding proteins of the nucleus. Since the discovery of LMNA mutations in highly heterogeneous human disorders (including cardiac and muscular dystrophies, lipodystrophies and progeria), the number of ...

Laminopathies: Multisystem dystrophy syndromes

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2006
Laminopathies are a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders due to abnormalities in type A lamins and can manifest varied clinical features affecting many organs including the skeletal and cardiac muscle, adipose tissue, nervous system, cutaneous tissue, and bone.

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.
