Generation and characterization of a conditional deletion allele for Lmna in mice.

Abstract excerpt

Extensive efforts have been devoted to study A-type lamins because mutations in their gene, LMNA in humans, are associated with a number of diseases. The mouse germline mutations in the A-type lamins (encoded by Lmna) exhibit postnatal lethality at either 4-8 postnatal (P) weeks or P16-18 days, depending on the deletion alleles. These mice exhibit defects in several tissues including hearts and skeletal muscles....
