Abstract excerpt
LMNA gene encodes Lamin A and C (Lamin A/C), which are intermediate filament protein implicating in DNA replication and transcription. Mutations in LMNA are validated to cause cardiac conduction disease (CCD) and cardiomyopathy.In a Chinese family, we identified 5 members harboring the identical heterozygous LMNA (c.686T>C, I229T) disease-causing mutation, which was not found in the 535 healthy controls. In...
