Structural and Mechanical Aberrations of the Nuclear Lamina in Disease

Cells, 2020
The nuclear lamins are the major components of the nuclear lamina in the nuclear envelope. Lamins are involved in numerous functions, including a role in providing structural support to the cell and the mechanosensing of the cell.

Severe CMD with Novel Mutation in Lamin A/C Gene

Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 2010
Researchers at Queen Fabiola Children’s University Hospital, Brussels, Belgium, report a 7-year-old Belgian boy with a 5 months-onset congenital muscular dystrophy and laminopathy caused by a de novo heterozygous LMNA gene mutation.

Establishment of an iPSC line (JSPHi001-A) from a patient with familial dilated cardiomyopathy and atrial fibrillation caused by LMNA missense mutation (c.1003C > T)

Stem Cell Research, 2021
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were harvested and reprogramed to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from a 46-year-old male patient with familial dilated cardiomyopathy and atrial fibrillation via a non-integrating system.

Cardiovascular Involvement in Pediatric Laminopathies. Report of Six Patients and Literature Revision

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2020
Lamin A/C (LMNA) encodes for two nuclear intermediate filament proteins. Mutations in LMNA cause a highly heterogeneous group of diseases predominantly leading to muscular or cardiac disease, lipodystrophy syndromes, peripheral neuropathy, and ...

Pervasive nuclear envelope ruptures precede ECM signaling and disease onset without activating cGAS-STING in Lamin-cardiomyopathy mice

Cell Reports
Summary: Nuclear envelope (NE) ruptures are emerging observations in Lamin-related dilated cardiomyopathy, an adult-onset disease caused by loss-of-function mutations in Lamin A/C, a nuclear lamina component. Here, we test a prevailing hypothesis that NE

A Heterozygous ZMPSTE24 Mutation Associated with Severe Metabolic Syndrome, Ectopic Fat Accumulation, and Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Cells, 2016
ZMPSTE24 encodes the only metalloprotease, which transforms prelamin into mature lamin A. Up to now, mutations in ZMPSTE24 have been linked to Restrictive Dermopathy (RD), Progeria or Mandibulo-Acral Dysplasia (MAD).

Chd4 and ThPOK cooperate to preserve structural and electrophysiological integrity of the adult heart through Sprr1a repression

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Chd4/NuRD and ThPOK cooperate to maintain transcriptional repression and nuclear organization in adult cardiomyocytes. Chd4 loss reduces miR‐150‐5p, relieving repression of Sprr1a, while ThPOK loss further enhances Sprr1a activation, possibly through altered chromatin–lamina interactions.

Mouse models of laminopathies

Aging Cell, 2012
AbstractThe A‐ and B‐type lamins are nuclear intermediate filament proteins in eukaryotic cells with a broad range of functions, including the organization of nuclear architecture and interaction with proteins in many cellular functions. Over 180 disease‐causing mutations, termed ‘laminopathies,’ have been mapped throughout LMNA, the gene for A‐type ...

Progeroid Syndrome and Mutation in LMNA Gene: Report of Two Cases from Iran [PDF]

Journal of Kerman University of Medical Sciences, 2005
Two Iranian cases with very rare progeroid syndrome are reported. The first is a 24-year-old girl who has been healthy till her 13th birthday. From that time she has been suffering from a progressive generalized and multi-systemic illness.

Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation in Structural Heart Disease With LVEF > 35%: Clinical Outcomes and Recurrence Patterns

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In patients with structural heart disease (SHD) and moderately impaired left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF > 35%), data on outcomes after ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation remain limited. This analysis focuses on VT recurrence after ablation in patients presenting with sustained VT and LVEF > 35% within a secondary ...
