Po-01-108 elucidating the mechanism of atrial fibrillation in lamin a/c heart disease using human ipsc-derived atrial cardiomyocytes
Mutations in the LMNA gene, encoding the nuclear envelope proteins lamin A/C, cause cardiac arrhythmias, conduction disease, and dilated cardiomyopathy. Malignant arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular tachycardia are common and pose an increased risk of stroke and sudden cardiac death.
