Emerin (EMD) and barrier to autointegration factor 1 (BANF1) each bind A-type lamins (LMNA) as fundamental components of nuclear lamina structure. Mutations in LMNA, EMD and BANF1 are genetically linked to many tissue-specific disorders including Emery ...

ABSTRACT Background Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is a progressive genetic myopathy that mainly affects the muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles) and the heart (cardiac muscles). The disease is frequently associated with mutations in genes encoding nuclear envelope proteins, most notably LMNA, which encodes lamin A—a critical ...

Heterozygous LMNA mutation-carrying iPSC lines from three cardiac laminopathy patients
LMNA-related dilated cardiomyopathy (LMNA-DCM) is caused by pathogenic variants in the LMNA gene and is characterized by left ventricular chamber enlargement, reduced systolic function, and arrhythmia.

Informing Dose for Pediatric Rare Diseases—A Survey of Recent Orphan Drugs Approvals
ABSTRACT Collectively, pediatric rare diseases affect millions of children worldwide. Yet, treatment options are limited. Dose selection presents unique challenges in pediatric rare disease drug development. Traditional dose‐finding approaches are impractical for these populations, and conventional pediatric dosing methods like exposure matching face ...

Clinical and functional characterization of a novel mutation in lamin a/c gene in a multigenerational family with arrhythmogenic cardiac laminopathy [PDF]
Mutations in the lamin A/C gene (LMNA) were associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and, recently, were related to severe forms of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC).

The fat‐heart entanglement and the role of ‘osteopontin mechanics’ in cardiometabolic senescence
Abstract Background Residual cardiovascular (CV) risk persists despite therapeutic advances. Obesity is heterogeneous, and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) dysfunction (‘adiposopathy’) complicates risk stratification. Osteopontin (OPN) is a pleiotropic mediator implicated in VAT inflammation, senescence‐associated pathways, atherosclerosis and myocardial ...

Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome—Current Status and Prospects for Gene Therapy Treatment
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is one of the most severe disorders among laminopathies—a heterogeneous group of genetic diseases with a molecular background based on mutations in the LMNA gene and genes coding for interacting proteins.

The involvement of thioredoxin-1 in neuronal laminopathy in neurodegeneration
Introduction: Progressive loss of neurons is a common cause in pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases (ND), although the underlying mechanisms responsible for cell death remains controversial.

Mechanical Stress Triggers Premature Senescence in Cardiac Fibroblasts
Cellular senescence contributes to disease burden in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and aging, highlighting the need to understand its induction. In primary cardiac fibroblasts, reduced strain and increased frequency, mimicking CVD, elicit a distinct senescent phenotype compared to oxidative stress.
