Global LMNA Community — New Events, Tools, and Connections
Dear LMNA Cardiac,
As our global LMNA community continues to grow, we’re excited to share several new opportunities to connect, learn, and support one another. In this edition, you’ll find updates on upcoming in-person and virtual events, new tools designed to support patients and families, and initiatives that are strengthening connections across countries and communities.
🎥 LMNA Patient Interview Series — Episode 3 Now Available
We’re pleased to share Episode 3 of the LMNA Patient Interview Series, continuing our effort to highlight real-life experiences within our community.
In this series, members of the LMNA community share their personal journeys living with LMNA-related disease — offering insight into the challenges, resilience, and day-to-day realities behind LMNA cardiomyopathy and laminopathies.
These conversations help us learn from one another, feel less alone, and better understand the impact of LMNA conditions beyond the clinical perspective.
LMNA Country Groups — Connect Locally, in Your Own Language
We’re excited to share another important step in strengthening our global LMNA community: our country-specific groups are now active and growing.
These groups make it easier for LMNA patients and gene mutation carriers to connect with others in their own region and language — creating space to share experiences, offer support, and exchange practical information closer to home.
🌐 Currently active groups include: Germany, Sweden, France, the United Kingdom, Australia, China, and Latin America.
These local communities help foster connection, understanding, and support — because no one should have to navigate LMNA-related cardiomyopathy alone.
Interested in joining a group — or helping start one in your region? We’d love to hear from you: info@lmnacardiac.org
LMNA Cardiac In-Person Patient Meeting at Stanford (Registration are Open)
We’re pleased to announce that registration is now open for our upcoming LMNA Cardiac In-Person Patient Meeting, taking place at Stanford University in California.
This special gathering offers a unique opportunity to connect face-to-face with others in the LMNA community — including patients, families, researchers, and clinicians. Together, we’ll share experiences, learn from one another, and discuss the latest insights in LMNA cardiac care and research.
You are welcome to join us for one or both days of the event.
Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been part of the community for years, this meeting is designed to be informative, supportive, and meaningful.
New: AI Advocate App Now Available for the LMNA Cardiac Community
We’re excited to share an important new development through our partnership with Citizen Health. The AI Advocate mobile app is now available — designed to support patients and families in managing their care more effectively.
One of its most powerful features allows you to record your medical appointments, helping you stay fully present during conversations with your care team. The app then transforms these discussions into clear summaries with actionable next steps, making it easier to understand and manage your care.
In addition, the app brings together your medical records, AI-powered care support, and key health information — all in one place, accessible from your phone.
Currently available for U.S.-based iPhone users. Android and international access are expected soon.
