Drosophila Models Reveal Properties of Mutant Lamins That Give Rise to Distinct Diseases

Mutations in the <i>LMNA</i> gene cause a collection of diseases known as laminopathies, including muscular dystrophies, lipodystrophies, and early-onset aging syndromes. The <i>LMNA</i> gene encodes A-type lamins, lamins A/C, intermediate filaments that form a meshwork under...
