LMNB2

LMNB2

A gene on chromosome 19p13.3 that encodes lamin B2, a protein highly conserved in evolution that forms part of the two-dimensional matrix of proteins located next to the inner nuclear membrane. Lamins are involved in providing nuclear stability and chromatin structure, and in gene expression.

The respective disease-causative genes are as follows: CSTB , PRICKLE1 , MELF , NHLRC1 , KCTD7 , SCARB2 , PRICKLE2 , GOSR2 , KCNC1 , CERS1 , LMNB2 , and PRDM8 .[1],[2],[3],[4],[5],[6],[7],[8],[9],[10],[11],[12],[13] However, there are other neurogenetic diseases mainly characterized by myoclonus, epileptic seizures, and ataxia, such as myoclonus epilepsy and ragged red fibers, neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses, sialidosis, dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA), and neuronopathic Gaucher disease, while a literature also regarded these diseases as PMEs.[1] In clinic, it is difficult to make an exact diagnosis among the various forms of PMEs due to homogeneous phenotypes.
