Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
The Lmna "progeria" allele (G690G), obtained through a mutation responsible for an increased ratio of Progerin/Lamin A, results in shorter mice lifespan compared to wild-type. For the heterozygous mice, median lifespan is reduced by ~40%, while the homozygous mice live about 83% lower.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Median lifespan is up to 83% lower.

    Observations
    The Lmna LCS, a knock-in mutation responsible for specifically not-producing Progerin, results in an increased lifespan. For the heterozygous mutation, median lifespan is extended by ~13%, while for the homozygous mutation median lifespan is ~10% longer.
    % change in avg or median lifespan
    Median lifespan is up to 13% higher.

      Observations
      Homozygous mice display signs of premature ageing, including a marked reduction in growth rate and death by 4 weeks of age.
