Background: Lamin A/C mutations show heterogeneous phenotypes expanding from cardiopathies to lipodystrophies. LMNA-related heart disease has recently been shown to be associated with a high incidence of phenotypic progression and adverse arrhythmic and non-arrhythmic events. Anticipatory planning to prevent sudden death has been recommended in a multicentric cardiologic recruitment. Nevertheless the specific cardiac prognosis of R482-LMNA mutated patients, the hot-spot for pa...
