TEAD1 and familial dilated cardiomyopathy: Here, by leveraging single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq), protein array, and electron microscopy analysis, we show that insufficient structural maturation of cardiomyocytes owing to trapping of transcription factor TEA domain transcription factor 1 (TEAD1) by mutant Lamin A/C at the nuclear membrane underlies the pathogenesis of Q353R-LMNA–related DCM.
