      Lamins A/C, the products of the LMNA gene, are major structural components of the nuclear lamina, a dense fibrillar network attached to the inner nuclear membrane. The nuclear lamina physically interacts with the cytoskeleton and nucleoskeleton, and as a result plays an important role in maintaining nuclear morphology and providing mechanical support to the nucleus. As such, defects in the nuclear lamina disrupt the integrity of the nucleus, which can lead to alterations in cellular events such as chromatin organization, gene regulation, and signaling [
