Defects in LMNA are the cause of cardiomyopathy dilated type 1A (CMD1A) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/115200 115200]]. Dilated cardiomyopathy is a disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Patients are at risk of premature death.<ref>PMID:18606848</ref> <ref>PMID:11792809</ref> <ref>PMID:14684700</ref> <ref>PMID:10580070</ref> <ref>PMID:11561226</ref> <ref>PMID:12486434</ref> <ref>PMID:11897440</ref> <ref>PMID:12628721</ref> <ref>PMID:12920062</ref> <ref>PMID:15219508</ref> <ref>PMID:15140538</ref> <ref>PMID:16061563</ref> <ref>PMID:21846512</ref>   Defects in LMNA are the cause of familial partial lipodystrophy type 2 (FPLD2) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/151660 151660]]; also known as familial partial lipodystrophy Dunnigan type. A disorder characterized by the loss of subcutaneous adipose tissue in the lower parts of the body (limbs, buttocks, trunk). It is accompanied by an accumulation of adipose tissue in the face and neck causing a double chin, fat neck, or cushingoid appearance. Adipose tissue may also accumulate in the axillae, back, labia majora, and intraabdominal region. Affected patients are insulin-resistant and may develop glucose intolerance and diabetes mellitus after age 20 years, hypertriglyceridemia, and low levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol.<ref>PMID:11792809</ref> <ref>PMID:10739751</ref> <ref>PMID:10587585</ref> <ref>PMID:10655060</ref> <ref>PMID:12015247</ref> <ref>PMID:12196663</ref> <ref>PMID:12629077</ref> <ref>PMID:17250669</ref>   Defects in LMNA are the cause of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1B (LGMD1B) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/159001 159001]]. LGMD1B is an autosomal dominant degenerative myopathy with age-related atrioventricular cardiac conduction disturbances, dilated cardiomyopathy, and the absence of early contractures. LGMD1B is characterized by slowly progressive skeletal muscle weakness of the hip and shoulder girdles. Muscle biopsy shows mild dystrophic changes.<ref>PMID:12032588</ref> <ref>PMID:15744034</ref> <ref>PMID:10814726</ref> <ref>PMID:11525883</ref> <ref>PMID:12673789</ref> <ref>PMID:17136397</ref>   Defects in LMNA are the cause of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B1 (CMT2B1) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/605588 605588]]. CMT2B1 is a form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, the most common inherited disorder of the peripheral nervous system. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is classified in two main groups on the basis of electrophysiologic properties and histopathology: primary peripheral demyelinating neuropathy or CMT1, and primary peripheral axonal neuropathy or CMT2. Neuropathies of the CMT2 group are characterized by signs of axonal regeneration in the absence of obvious myelin alterations, normal or slightly reduced nerve conduction velocities, and progressive distal muscle weakness and atrophy. CMT2B1 inheritance is autosomal recessive.<ref>PMID:11799477</ref>   Defects in LMNA are the cause of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/176670 176670]]. HGPS is a rare genetic disorder characterized by features reminiscent of marked premature aging. Note=HGPS is caused by the toxic accumulation of a mutant form of lamin-A/C. This mutant protein, called progerin, acts to deregulate mitosis and DNA damage signaling, leading to premature cell death and senescence. Progerin lacks the conserved ZMPSTE24/FACE1 cleavage site and therefore remains permanently farnesylated. Thus, although it can enter the nucleus and associate with the nuclear envelope, it cannot incorporate normally into the nuclear lamina.<ref>PMID:19933576</ref> <ref>PMID:12768443</ref> <ref>PMID:12927431</ref> <ref>PMID:12714972</ref> <ref>PMID:15286156</ref> <ref>PMID:15622532</ref>   Defects in LMNA are the cause of cardiomyopathy dilated with hypergonadotropic hypogonadism (CMDHH) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/212112 212112]]. A disorder characterized by the association of genital anomalies, hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and dilated cardiomyopathy. Patients can present other variable clinical manifestations including mental retardation, skeletal anomalies, scleroderma-like skin, graying and thinning of hair, osteoporosis. Dilated cardiomyopathy is characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia.  Defects in LMNA are the cause of mandibuloacral dysplasia with type A lipodystrophy (MADA) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/248370 248370]]. A disorder characterized by mandibular and clavicular hypoplasia, acroosteolysis, delayed closure of the cranial suture, progeroide appearance, partial alopecia, soft tissue calcinosis, joint contractures, and partial lipodystrophy with loss of subcutaneous fat from the extremities. Adipose tissue in the face, neck and trunk is normal or increased.<ref>PMID:12075506</ref> <ref>PMID:15998779</ref> <ref>PMID:16278265</ref>   Defects in LMNA are a cause of lethal tight skin contracture syndrome (LTSCS) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/275210 275210]]; also known as restrictive dermopathy (RD). Lethal tight skin contracture syndrome is a rare disorder mainly characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, tight and rigid skin with erosions, prominent superficial vasculature and epidermal hyperkeratosis, facial features (small mouth, small pinched nose and micrognathia), sparse/absent eyelashes and eyebrows, mineralization defects of the skull, thin dysplastic clavicles, pulmonary hypoplasia, multiple joint contractures and an early neonatal lethal course. Liveborn children usually die within the first week of life. The overall prevalence of consanguineous cases suggested an autosomal recessive inheritance.<ref>PMID:15317753</ref>   Defects in LMNA are the cause of heart-hand syndrome Slovenian type (HHS-Slovenian) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/610140 610140]]. Heart-hand syndrome (HHS) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by the co-occurrence of a congenital cardiac disease and limb malformations.  Defects in LMNA are the cause of muscular dystrophy congenital LMNA-related (MDCL) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/613205 613205]]. It is a form of congenital muscular dystrophy. Patients present at birth, or within the first few months of life, with hypotonia, muscle weakness and often with joint contractures.<ref>PMID:18551513</ref>  [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/BAF_HUMAN BAF_HUMAN]] Defects in BANF1 are the cause of Nestor-Guillermo progeria syndrome (NGPS) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/614008 614008]]. NGPS is an atypical progeroid syndrome characterized by normal development in the first years of life, later followed by the emergence of generalized lipoatrophy, severe osteoporosis, and marked osteolysis. The atrophic facial subcutaneous fat pad and the marked osteolysis of the maxilla and mandible result in a typical pseudosenile facial appearance with micrognatia, prominent subcutaneous venous patterning, a convex nasal ridge, and proptosis. Cognitive development is completely normal. Patients do not have cardiovascular dysfunction, atherosclerosis, or metabolic anomalies.<ref>PMID:21549337</ref>  
== Function ==
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/EMD_HUMAN EMD_HUMAN]] Stabilizes and promotes the formation of a nuclear actin cortical network. Stimulates actin polymerization in vitro by binding and stabilizing the pointed end of growing filaments. Inhibits beta-catenin activity by preventing its accumulation in the nucleus. Acts by influencing the nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin through a CRM1-dependent export pathway. Links centrosomes to the nuclear envelope via a microtubule association. EMD and BAF are cooperative cofactors of HIV-1 infection. Association of EMD with the viral DNA requires the presence of BAF and viral integrase. The association of viral DNA with chromatin requires the presence of BAF and EMD. Required for proper localization of non-farnesylated prelamin-A/C.<ref>PMID:15328537</ref> <ref>PMID:16858403</ref> <ref>PMID:16680152</ref> <ref>PMID:17785515</ref> <ref>PMID:19323649</ref>  [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/LMNA_HUMAN LMNA_HUMAN]] Lamins are components of the nuclear lamina, a fibrous layer on the nucleoplasmic side of the inner nuclear membrane, which is thought to provide a framework for the nuclear envelope and may also interact with chromatin. Lamin A and C are present in equal amounts in the lamina of mammals. Plays an important role in nuclear assembly, chromatin organization, nuclear membrane and telomere dynamics.<ref>PMID:20079404</ref> <ref>PMID:20458013</ref>   Prelamin-A/C can accelerate smooth muscle cell senescence. It acts to disrupt mitosis and induce DNA damage in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), leading to mitotic failure, genomic instability, and premature senescence.<ref>PMID:20079404</ref> <ref>PMID:20458013</ref>  [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/BAF_HUMAN BAF_HUMAN]] Plays fundamental roles in nuclear assembly, chromatin organization, gene expression and gonad development. May potently compress chromatin structure and be involved in membrane recruitment and chromatin decondensation during nuclear assembly. Contains 2 non-specific dsDNA-binding sites which may promote DNA cross-bridging. Exploited by retroviruses for inhibiting self-destructing autointegration of retroviral DNA, thereby promoting integration of viral DNA into the host chromosome. EMD and BAF are cooperative cofactors of HIV-1 infection. Association of EMD with the viral DNA requires the presence of BAF and viral integrase. The association of viral DNA with chromatin requires the presence of BAF and EMD.<ref>PMID:11005805</ref> <ref>PMID:12163470</ref> <ref>PMID:16680152</ref>
