Abstract
BACKGROUND: Laminopathies caused by LMNA gene mutations are characterized by different clinical manifestations. Among them, cardiac involvement is one of the most severe phenotypes. CASE PRESENTATION: A 30-year-old man visited the hospital because of palpitations, shortness of breath, and fatigue. He also had muscular dystrophy, joint contractures, scoliosis, and mild dysphagia. A novel de novo heterozygous LMNA splice variant (c.810+1G>T) with dilated cardiomyopathy, Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, and progressive cardiac conduction defect was identified by genetic analysis. The patient also presented with congenital aortic valve malformation, which has never been reported in laminopathies. CONCLUSIONS: The LMNA mutation (c.810+1G>T) was identified for the first time, enriching the mutation spectrum of the LMNA gene. The correlation between an LMNA mutation and congenital aortic valve malformation deserves further study.
