In 2003, De Sandre-Giovannoli et al. and Eriksson et al. identified a synonymous point mutation of the LMNA gene (NM_170707.4: c.1824C > T; p.Gly608Gly) as causative of the disease in patients affected with Hutchinson Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) [10, 11]. Here, LMNA is linked to Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome.
