A Cardio-Neurological Form of Laminopathy: Dilated Cardiomyopathy with Permanent Partial Atrial Standstill and Axonal Neuropathy

We present the first form of laminopathy connected with a new mutation of the lamin A/C gene expressed by dilated cardiomyopathy and partial atrial standstill associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2 axonal neuropathy. The rapid development of the cardiac disease was controlled by medical treatment and resynchronization therapy associated with a defibrillator. (PACE 2009; 32:410-415).
