Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the Lamin A/C gene (LMNA), which encodes A-type nuclear Lamins, represent the most frequent genetic cause of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). This study is focused on a LMNA nonsense mutation (R321X) identified in several members of an Italian family that produces a truncated protein isoform, which co-segregates with a severe form of cardiomyopathy with poor prognosis. However, no molecular mechanisms...
