Missense and Non-Missense Lamin A/C Gene Mutations Are Similarly Associated with Major Arrhythmic Cardiac Events: A 20-Year Single-Centre Experience.

Arrhythmic risk stratification in patients with Lamin A/C gene (LMNA)-related cardiomyopathy influences clinical decisions. An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) should be considered in patients with an estimated 5-year risk of malignant ventricular arrhythmia (MVA) of ≥10%. The risk prediction score for MVA includes non-missense LMNA mutations, despite their role as an established risk factor for sudden cardiac death (SCD) has been questioned in several studies.
