Abstract
Filamin is an actin-binding protein that, by forming flexible molecular cross-links, stabilizes the three-dimensional F-actin networks and gives them the mechanical properties of a gel. It is represented by three isoforms: filamine A (FLNA), filamin B (FLNB), and filamin C (FLNC), derived from 3 homologous genes. Laminopathies caused by mutations in the FLNA, FLNB, and FLNC genes represent an extensive allelic series of diseases. The review discusses in detail the genotype-phenotypic correlation of all types of phylaminopathies. The neuromuscular and cardiac clinic of C-type phylaminopathy is described in detail. Three variants of C phylaminopathy known at the moment are analyzed.
