Abstract
To solve the clinical transformation dilemma of lamin A/C (LMNA)-mutated dilated cardiomyopathy (LMD), we developed an LMNA-mutated primate model based on the similarity between the phenotype of primates and humans. We screened out patients with LMD and compared the clinical data of LMD with TTN-mutated and mutation-free dilated cardiomyopathy to obtain the unique phenotype. After establishment of the LMNA c.357-2A>G primate model, primates were continuously observed for 48months, and echocardiographic, electrophysiological, histologic, and transcriptional data were recorded. The LMD primate model was found to highly simulate the phenotype of clinical LMD. In addition, the LMD primate model shared a similar natural history with humans.
