Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Familial dilated cardiomyopathy with conduction system defects variably associated with skeletal muscle abnormalities is frequently caused by LMNA gene mutations. METHODS: A family affected by cardiac abnormalities, either isolated or variably associated with skeletal muscle compromise, was identified. LMNA gene analysis was applied to all family members. RESULTS: A novel intron 5 (c.937-11 C > G)...
