GlossaryLaminopathies

group of genetic disorders caused by LMNA gene mutations

Laminopathies are a group of rare genetic disorders caused by mutations in the LMNA gene, which encodes proteins called lamins. These proteins are crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of the cell nucleus. Laminopathies can lead to a variety of conditions, including muscular dystrophies, cardiomyopathies, and premature aging syndromes, affecting multiple systems in the body.
