Abstract excerpt
Nestor-Guillermo progeria syndrome (NGPS) is caused by a homozygous alanine-to-threonine mutation at position 12 (A12T) in barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF). It is characterized by accelerated aging with severe skeletal abnormalities. BAF is an essential protein binding to DNA and nuclear envelope (NE) proteins, involved in NE rupture repair. Here, we assessed the impact of BAF A12T on NE integrity using...
