A novel deletion mutation accompanied by a point mutation in Lamin A/C gene: Screened from a dilated cardiomyopathy family

A co-segregation mutation of LMNA (Point mutation chr1 156107548 c.1712 G>A and truncated frame-shifted mutation chr1 156106086 c.1240delA) was found from a DCM family, and this type of mutation could participate in the pathogenesis of DCM by affecting the expression of actin.
