Abstract excerpt
Cardiomyopathy caused by lamin A/C gene (LMNA) mutations (hereafter referred as LMNA cardiomyopathy) is characterized by cardiac conduction abnormalities and left ventricular systolic dysfunction predisposing to heart failure. Previous cardiac transcriptional profiling of LmnaH222P/H222P mouse, a small animal model of LMNA cardiomyopathy, suggested decreased WNT/β-catenin signalling. We confirmed decreased...
