Abstract excerpt
LMNA-related dilated cardiomyopathy is an inherited heart disease caused by mutations in the LMNA gene encoding for lamin A/C. The disease is characterized by left ventricular enlargement and impaired systolic function associated with conduction defects and ventricular arrhythmias. We hypothesized that LMNA-mutated patients' induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) display...
