BACKGROUND
Primary laminopathies are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases caused by nuclear lamina dysfunction due to pathogenic LMNA variants. However, despite their ubiquitous expression, LMNA variants have rarely been linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Here, we systematically investigate clinical implications...

Here, we investigated th...
