Lamins A and C are nuclear structural proteins that are part of the intermediate filament family and coded for by the same gene (LMNA). Lamins A and C are nearly identical except for their carboxy termini (McKeon et al., 1986). Mutations in the gene encoding lamins A/C have been shown to cause a variety of diseases including autosomal dominant Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (Bonne et al., 1995), autosomal dominant limbgirdle muscular dystrophy (Muchir et al., 2000) and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disorder type 2 (De Sandre-Giavonnoli et al., 2002). |
