Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on evidence linking the gene product to the regulation or control of genes previously linked to ageing
Description

Mutations in the LMNA gene result in Hutchinson-Gilford progeroid syndrome. Two mouse models, Lmna null (Lmna(-/-)) and progeroid Lmna delta9 have been created, displaying these two pathologies, with an accordingly shorten lifespan. In both cases, however, a deficiency in the Sun1 gene resulted in reduced tissue pathologies and enhanced longevity. Similarly, a reduction of SUN1 overaccumulation in LMNA mutant fibroblasts and in cells derived from progeroid patients corrected nuclear defects and cellular senescence [2197]. Further studies are warranted.
