A Family with a Single LMNA Mutation Illustrates Diversity in Cardiac Phenotypes Associated with Laminopathic Progeroid Syndromes

چکیده
The likely pathogenic variant c.407A>T p.Asp136Val of the LMNA gene has been recently described in a young woman presenting with atypical progeroid syndrome, associated severe aortic valve stenosis. We further describe cardiovascular involvement syndrome her family. identified seven members general presentation suggestive syndrome. All them presented heart conduction abnormalities: degenerative cardiac diseases such as coronary artery disease (two subjects) and stenosis (three occurred 3rd–5th decade, patient developed dilated cardiomyopathy, leading to death at 15 years age. was found all patients who consented carry out genetic test. This diverse family cardiologic phenotype emphasizes complex molecular background play lamin-involved diseases, need for early thorough evaluations laminopathic syndromes.

LETTER TO JMG Novel lamin A/C gene (LMNA) mutations in atypical progeroid syndromes
H utchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS, OMIM 176670), commonly called ‘‘progeria’’, occurs in <1 in 8 million births and displays striking features of ‘‘premature aging’’. 2 HGPS recapitulates most of the pathologies of normal aging at an accelerated rate, with sparing of the nervous system. Children with HGPS usually appear normal in early infancy, but at about six months of age begin to ...
متن کاملPhenotypic diversity in patients with lipodystrophy associated with LMNA mutations.
OBJECTIVE Mutations in LMNA have been linked to diverse disorders called laminopathies, which display heterogeneous phenotypes and include diseases affecting muscles, axonal neurons, progeroid syndromes, and lipodystrophies. Among the lipodystrophies, LMNA mutations have been reported most frequently in patients with familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD) of the Dunnigan variety; however, phenot...
متن کاملWhole-Exome Sequencing to Identify a Novel LMNA Gene Mutation Associated with Inherited Cardiac Conduction Disease
BACKGROUND Inherited cardiac conduction diseases (CCD) are rare but are caused by mutations in a myriad of genes. Recently, whole-exome sequencing has successfully led to the identification of causal mutations for rare monogenic Mendelian diseases. OBJECTIVE To investigate the genetic background of a family affected by inherited CCD. METHODS AND RESULTS We used whole-exome sequencing to stu...

Two Iranian cases with very rare progeroid syndrome are reported. The first is a 24-year-old girl who has been healthy till her 13th birthday. From that time she has been suffering from a progressive generalized and multi-systemic illness. The cardinal clinical findings were growth retardation, subcutaneous fat loss, skin dryness and wrinkling, scattered focal sclerodermoid-like changes, promin...
