(2011) performed miRNA expression profiling of muscle biopsies of five patients suffering from skeletal muscle dystrophy and/or cardiac disorders (dilated cardiomyopathy, LGMD1B and EDMD) and carrying an LMNA mutation (p.R60G, p.R294Q, p.R321X, or p.R377C) as compared to four healthy controls. Here, LMNA is linked to dilated cardiomyopathy.
