Article Abstract
The LMNA gene encodes lamin A/C, essential components of the nuclear envelope that play crucial roles in maintaining nuclear architecture, mechanotransduction, and gene regulation. LMNA mutations are linked to laminopathies, affecting multiple organ systems, including muscle, adipose tissue, and the cardiovascular system. To investigate LMNA-related disorders, we generated a human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line with a homozygous LMNA frameshift mutation (c.351_352insA) using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. The edited hiPSCs retained normal colony morphology and expressed key pluripotency markers. This LMNA knockout hiPSC line provides a valuable model for studying lamin A/C functions in nuclear integrity, cellular homeostasis, and disease pathogenesis.

Studies of laminopathy-based progeria offer insights into aging-associated diseases and highlight the role of LMNA in chromatin organization. Mandibuloacral dysplasia type A (MAD) is a largely unexplored form of atypical progeria that lacks lamin A post-translational processing defects. Using iPSCs derived from a male MAD patient carrying homozygous LMNA p.

In this study, we analysed the mutation spectrum in subjects with suspected lipodystrophy using a targeted Next-generation sequencing (NGS) approach. Subjects with suspected lipodystrophy were for screened six genes (AGPAT2, BSCL2, LMNA, PPARG, ZMPSTE24, INSR) and the variants identified were confirmed through Sanger sequencing. The clinical and biochemical parameters were compared among the mutation positive and negative subjects.

Objective: To report the case of a girl presenting a severe phenotype of mandibuloacral dysplasia type A (MADA) characterized by prominent osteolytic changes and ectodermal defects, associated with a rare homozygous LMNA missense mutation (c.1579C>T).
Case Description: A 6-year-old girl was evaluated during hospitalization exhibiting the following dysmorphic signs: subtotal alopecia, dysmorphic facies with prominent eyes, marked micrognathia and retrognathia, small beaked nose, teeth crowding and thin lips, generalized lipodystrophy, narrow and sloping shoulders, generalized joint stiffness and bone reabsorption in the terminal phalanges.
