NETWORKING ACTIVITIES
The IGM-Unit of Bologna started the activity of the Italian Laminopathies Network in 2009 and is the coordinating center of the Network.
The Italian Laminopathies Network (NIL) brings together the Italian centers involved in clinical investigation and research in the field of pathologies caused by mutations of the lamin A/C and other proteins of the nuclear envelope.
NIL also has a website providing updated information on the diseases, the centers involved and the progress of scientific research.
