The premature aging disease Hutchinson-Gilford Syndrome (HGPS) is caused by defined mutations in the LMNA gene, resulting in the activation of a cryptic splice donor site, which leads to a defective truncated prelamin A protein called progerin. Notably, progerin expression has also been detected in non-mutated healthy individuals, and therefore, its involvement in the physiological aging process has been widely discussed. Since diabetes mellitus is associated with premature aging and increased cardiovascular mortality, we aimed to investigate the role of progerin expression in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR).

Pathogenic variants in the EMD gene cause X-linked Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy type 1 (EDMD1), typically presenting with joint contractures and skeletal muscle atrophy, followed by atrial arrhythmias, cardiac conduction defects, and atrial dilatation. Although an association with isolated dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) has been suggested, evidence is currently insufficient to verify the gene-disease association. We investigated the causality of a missense variant, c.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent and morbid abnormality of the heart rhythm with a strong genetic component. Here, we meta-analyzed genome and exome sequencing data from 36 studies that included 52,416 AF cases and 277,762 controls. In burden tests of rare coding variation, we identified novel associations between AF and the genes MYBPC3, LMNA, PKP2, FAM189A2 and KDM5B.

The rare, accelerated aging disease Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is commonly caused by a c.1824 C > T point mutation of the gene that results in the protein progerin. The primary cause of death is a heart attack or stroke arising from atherosclerosis.
