Abstract excerpt
Lamins belong to type V intermediate filaments superfamily. They are the main structural constituencies of the nuclear lamina but they also influence on chromatin structure, regulation of gene expression, localization and probably protein degradation. Because lamins play many different roles within the cell, mutations in their genes can results in variety of pathological phenotypes. Mutations in LMNA gene are the...
