    Left ventricular noncompaction in a family with lamin A/C gene mutation
    (Texas Heart Institute Journal, 2015-02) Parent, John J.; Towbin, Jeffrey A.; Jefferies, John L.; Department of Pediatrics, IU School of Medicine
    Left ventricular noncompaction is a rare type of cardiomyopathy, the genetics of which are poorly understood to date. Lamin A/C gene mutations have been associated with dilated cardiomyopathy and diseases of the conduction system, but rarely in left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy. This report describes the cases of 4 family members with a lamin A/C gene mutation, 3 of whom had phenotypic expression of left ventricular noncompaction.
