Truncating LMNA gene mutations occur in many inherited cardiomyopathy cases, but the molecular mechanisms involved in the disease they cause have not yet been systematically investigated. Here, we studied a novel frameshift LMNA variant (p.D243Gfs*4) identified in three members of an Italian family co-segregating with a severe form of cardiomyopathy with conduction defects.
