Abstract excerpt
Laminopathies are rare monogenic diseases, some of them exhibiting features of the metabolic syndrome. These diseases are mainly due to mutations in LMNA, encoding A-type lamins. One LMNA polymorphism, rs4641, has been associated with the metabolic syndrome, but results have been controversial. We therefore investigated the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the LMNA gene in combination with four...
