Plasma microRNAs as biomarkers for Lamin A/C-related dilated cardiomyopathy

Lamin A/C gene (LMNA)-related familial dilated cardiomyopathy (fDCM) is an aggressive heart disease that often leads to transplantation and sudden death. The aim of our study was to evaluate the circulating microRNA (miRNA) profiles of patients with LMNA pathogenic mutations. The study population (N = 75) included (i) patients with pathogenic LMNA mutations responsible for fDCM (LMNAMUT), (ii) age- and sex-matched LMNA wild-type controls (LMNAWT...
