Abstract excerpt
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a major cause of heart failure. LMNA variants contribute to 6-10% DCM cases, but the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, we reported two patients carrying the LMNA c.1621C > T/ p.R541C variant and generated a knock-in mouse model (LmnaRC) to study the role of this variant in DCM pathogenesis. We found LmnaRC/RC mice exhibited ventricular dilation and reduced...
