Heterozygosity for Lmna deficiency eliminates the progeria-like phenotypes in Zmpste24-deficient mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Zmpste24 is a metalloproteinase required for the processing of prelamin A to lamin A, a structural component of the nuclear lamina. Zmpste24 deficiency results in the accumulation of prelamin A within cells, a complete loss of mature lamin A, and misshapen nuclear envelopes. Zmpste24-deficient

Progeria caused by a rare LMNA mutation p.S143F associated with mild myopathy and atrial fibrillation.

We present a 6-year-old girl with premature aging associated with mild myopathy, displaying muscle weakness, joint contractures and hyporeflexia. Genetic analysis revealed rare heterozygous point mutation in lamin A/C gene, g.428C>T. Cardiological evaluation showed atrial fibrillation, but we did

Skeletal muscle contractile function and neuromuscular performance in Zmpste24 -/- mice, a murine model of human progeria.

Only registered users can translate articles

Human progeroid syndromes and premature aging mouse models present as segmental, accelerated aging because some tissues and not others are affected. Skeletal muscle is detrimentally changed by normal aging but whether it is an affected tissue in progeria has not been resolved. We hypothesized that

p.S143F mutation in lamin A/C: a new phenotype combining myopathy and progeria.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report a young girl with a phenotype combining early-onset myopathy and a progeria. She had myopathy and marked axial weakness during the first year of life; progeroid features, including growth failure, sclerodermatous skin changes, and osteolytic lesions, developed later. We identified the

Association of homozygous LMNA mutation R471C with new phenotype: mandibuloacral dysplasia, progeria, and rigid spine muscular dystrophy.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report on a 7-year-old girl with a phenotype combining mandibuloacral dysplasia (MAD), progeria, and rigid spine muscular dystrophy. Mild proximal weakness, contractures, and rigidity of the spine were the primary findings. Although present since birth, dysmorphic manifestations typical for MAD

X-linked form of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is an inherited muscular disorder clinically characterized by slowly progressive weakness affecting humero-peroneal muscles, early joint contractures and cardiomyopathy with conduction defects. Autosomal dominant and recessive forms are caused by mutations in

Extreme phenotypic diversity and nonpenetrance in families with the LMNA gene mutation R644C.

Only registered users can translate articles

Mutations in the LMNA gene result in diverse phenotypes including Emery Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, limb girdle muscular dystrophy, dilated cardiomyopathy with conduction system disease, Dunnigan type familial partial lipodystrophy, mandibulo acral dysplasia, Hutchinson Gilford progeria syndrome,

Prelamin A and lamin A appear to be dispensable in the nuclear lamina.

Only registered users can translate articles

Lamin A and lamin C, both products of Lmna, are key components of the nuclear lamina. In the mouse, a deficiency in both lamin A and lamin C leads to slow growth, muscle weakness, and death by 6 weeks of age. Fibroblasts deficient in lamins A and C contain misshapen and structurally weakened nuclei,

Role of nuclear Lamin A/C in cardiomyocyte functions.

Only registered users can translate articles

Lamin A/C is a structural protein of the nuclear envelope (NE) and cardiac involvement in Lamin A/C mutations was one of the first phenotypes to be reported in humans, suggesting a crucial role of this protein in the cardiomyocytes function. Mutations in LMNA gene cause a class of pathologies
