Abstract excerpt
AIMS: We identified an autosomal dominant non‐sense mutation (R225X) in exon 4 of the lamin A/C (LMNA) gene in a Chinese family spanning 3 generations with familial dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). In present study, we aim to generate induced pluripotent stem cells derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC‐CMs) from an affected patient with R225X and another patient bearing LMNA frame‐shift mutation for drug screening. METHODS...
