In humans, multiple genes have been implicated in muscular dystrophy; in addition, in most cases, any specific gene is implicated in multiple forms of the disease. This report describes muscular dystrophy, congenital, LMNA-related (MDCL), which is one of several forms of the disease associated with the human gene LMNA; MDCL exhibits autosomal dominant inheritance. Information about fly models for this and related diseases can be found in the report 'muscular dystrophy, lamin-related' (FBhh0000196).
A variant of LMNA implicated in MDCL (R249W) has been characterized in Drosophila, as the analogous mutation in Dmel\LamC. See the 'Disease-Implicated Variants' table below.
