Mutations in LMNA modulate the lamin A--Nesprin-2 interaction and cause LINC complex alterations.

<h4>Background</h4>In eukaryotes the genetic material is enclosed by a continuous membrane system, the nuclear envelope (NE). Along the NE specific proteins assemble to form meshworks and mutations in these proteins have been described in a group of human diseases called laminopathies. L...
