Defects in the genes encoding for nuclear lamin (such as lamin A and lamin B1) have been implicated in a variety of diseases (laminopathies) such as:[3]
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy - A muscle wasting disease
Progeria - Premature aging
Restrictive dermopathy - A disease associated with extremely tight skin and other severe neonatal abnormalities
