Abstract excerpt
The LMNA gene encodes the A-type lamins, which polymerize into ∼3.5-nm-thick filaments and, together with B-type lamins and associated proteins, form the nuclear lamina. Mutations in LMNA cause a wide variety of pathologies. In this study, we analyzed the nuclear lamina of embryonic fibroblasts from LmnaH222P/H222P mice, which develop cardiomyopathy and muscular dystrophy. Although the organization of the lamina...
