Disrupting the LINC complex by AAV mediated gene transduction prevents progression of Lamin induced cardiomyopathy

Mutations in the LaminA gene are the second most common inherited cause of Dilated Cardiomyopathy, a major form of heart failure. Here the authors show that disruption of the nuclear protein SUN1 in cardiomyocytes, by AAV mediated transduction of a SUN1 inhibitor, significantly suppress cardiomyopat...

Description
Summary:Mutations in the LaminA gene are the second most common inherited cause of Dilated Cardiomyopathy, a major form of heart failure. Here the authors show that disruption of the nuclear protein SUN1 in cardiomyocytes, by AAV mediated transduction of a SUN1 inhibitor, significantly suppress cardiomyopathy progression, providing a potential therapeutic route to treat this disease.
