BACKGROUND: Mutations in the LMNA gene, encoding lamins A/C, represent a significant cause of dilated cardiomyopathy. We recently identified 18 protein-altering LMNA variants in a cohort of 324 unrelated patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. However, at least one family member with dilated cardiomyopathy in each of 6 pedigrees lacked the LMNA mutation (nonsegregation), whereas small sizes of 5 additional families...
