Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Laminopathies are associated with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, from lipodystrophy to cardiac diseases. The purpose of this study was to assess genotype-phenotype correlations in a lipodystrophic laminopathy caused by the Lamin A (LMNA) mutation T655fsX49. This mutation leads to synthesis of nonfarnesylated-mutated prelamin A that does not undergo the physiologic lamin A maturation...
