Disrupting the LINC complex by AAV mediated gene transduction prevents progression of Lamin induced cardiomyopathy

Mutations in the LaminA gene are a common cause of monogenic dilated cardiomyopathy. Here we show that mice with a cardiomyocyte-specific Lmna deletion develop cardiac failure and die within 3-4 weeks after inducing the mutation. When the same Lmna mutations are induced in mice genetically deficient... View More
