Other reported mutations located in close vicinity to nucleotide position 1000 of the LMNA gene have been shown to result in cardiomyopathy with conduction disturbances and, finally, sudden cardiac death, despite the implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator (c.992G>A, p.Arg331Gln) (Møller et al. 2009) and in Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) with early cardiac onset (c.1007G>A, p.Arg336Gln) (Raffaele Di Barletta et al. 2000; Sanna et al. 2003). The gene discussed is LMNA; the disease is Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy.
