Lamin A Δexon9 mutation leads to telomere and chromatin defects but not genomic instability [PDF]
Over 300 mutations in the LMNA gene, encoding A-type lamins, are associated with 15 human degenerative disorders and premature aging syndromes. Although genomic instability seems to contribute to the pathophysiology of some laminopathies, there is ...

LMNA mutation in progeroid syndrome in association with strokes
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome is a very rare but well-characterized genetic disorder that causes premature ageing. Clinical features affect growth, skeleton, body fat, skin, hair and the cardiovascular system. It is caused by mutations in LMNA gene, the most frequent being p.Gly608Gly (c.1824C > T) in exon 11.

The premature aging‐related progerin leads to defective nuclear morphology and is associated with disrupted molecular coupling between the extranuclear cytoskeleton and lamin‐associated nuclear envelope. It is discovered that progerin expression reduces nuclear tension, forms nuclear wrinkling, and enhances chromatin dynamics, thereby regulating ...

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.

Activation of PDGF Pathway Links LMNA Mutation to Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Lamin A/C (LMNA) is one of the most frequently mutated genes associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). DCM related to mutations in LMNA is a common inherited cardiomyopathy that is associated with systolic dysfunction and cardiac arrhythmias. Here we

Atypical progeroid syndrome (p.E262K LMNA mutation): a rare cause of short stature and osteoporosis
Summary Lamin A/C (LMNA) gene mutations cause a heterogeneous group of progeroid disorders, including Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome, mandibuloacral dysplasia, atypical progeroid syndrome (APS) and generalized lipodystrophy-associated progeroid ...

Dynamic expression of lamin B1 during adult neurogenesis in the vertebrate brain
Abstract Background In mammals, specific brain regions such as the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus and the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricles harbor adult neural stem/progenitor cells (ANSPCs) that give rise to new neurons and contribute to structural and functional brain plasticity.

Multilevel analysis of nuclear dynamics in lamin perturbed fibroblasts [PDF]
The nuclear lamina provides structural support to the nucleus and has a central role in defining nuclear organization. Defects in its filamentous constituents, the lamins, lead to a class of diseases collectively referred to as laminopathies.

Lamin A/C sustains PcG protein architecture, maintaining transcriptional repression at target genes [PDF]
Beyond its role in providing structure to the nuclear envelope, lamin A/C is involved in transcriptional regulation. However, its cross talk with epigenetic factors--and how this cross talk influences physiological processes--is still unexplored.
