Abstract excerpt
The lamin A/C proteins are major structural and functional components of the nuclear lamina. Mutations identified in LMNA encoding lamin A/C belong to the most frequently described causes for inherited forms of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). To elucidate the clinical characteristics of LMNA mutation carriers we performed genetic analysis of LMNA in 20 unrelated patients with DCM and cardiac conduction disease. In...
