Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the LMNA gene, which encodes nuclear lamins A and C by alternative splicing, can give rise to Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. The mechanism by which lamins A and C separately contribute to this molecular phenotype is unknown. To address this question we examined ten LMNA mutations exogenously expressed as lamins A and C in COS-7 cells. Eight of the mutations when expressed in lamin A, exhibited a...
