Mutations in the LMNA gene cause a wide spectrum of diseases called laminopathies which include muscular dystrophies such as limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 1 (LGMD); progeroid syndromes like Hutchinson Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS); and familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD) which is a lipodystrophy syndrome [4, 5]. Here, LMNA is linked to laminopathy.
