A cardio-neurological form of laminopathy: dilated cardiomyopathy with permanent partial atrial standstill and axonal neuropathy.

We present the first form of laminopathy connected with a new mutation of the lamin A/C gene expressed by dilated cardiomyopathy and partial atrial standstill associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2 axonal neuropathy. The rapid development of the cardiac disease was controlled by medical treatment and resynchronization therapy associated with a defibrillator.
