Abstract excerpt
Aims: Characterization of the cardiac phenotype associated with the novel LMNA nonsense mutation c.544C>T, p.Q182*, which we have identified in a large five-generation family. Methods and results: A family tree was constructed. Clinical data [arrhythmia, syncope, sudden cardiac death (SCD), New York Heart Association (NYHA) class] were collected from living and deceased family members. DNA of 23 living family...
