Laminopathy-causing lamin A mutations reconfigure lamina-associated domains and local spatial chromatin conformation.

Abstract excerpt

The nuclear lamina contributes to the regulation of gene expression and to chromatin organization. Mutations in A-type nuclear lamins cause laminopathies, some of which are associated with a loss of heterochromatin at the nuclear periphery. Until recently however, little if any information has been provided on where and how lamin A interacts with the genome and on how disease-causing lamin A mutations may...
