abstract:
The need for a collaborative approach to complex inherited diseases collectively referred to as laminopathies,
encouraged Italian researchers, geneticists, physicians and patients to join in the Italian Network for Laminopathies,
in 2009. Here, we highlight the advantages and added value of such a multidisciplinary effort to understand
pathogenesis, clinical aspects and try to find a cure for Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, Mandibuloacral
dysplasia, Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria and forms of lamin-linked cardiomyopathy, neuropathy and lipodystrophy.
