Background: Lamin A/C (LMNA) mutation carriers suffer from a variety of clinical phenotypes, including dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Although it has been suggested that carriers are at risk for thromboembolic complications, it is unknown whether this risk is higher than can be expected from the underlying cardiac abnormalities. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a LMNA mutation is associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic complications.Methods: We compared a cohort of 76 LMNA mutation carriers with a cohort of 224 idiopathic DCM patients without a LMNA mutation, with respect to the prevalence of arterial and venous thromboembolic complications. Furthermore, we carried out a case-control study to explore whether a prothrombotic phenotype was present in LMNA mutation carriers without DCM or atrial tachyarrhythmias (n=14) and compared this with mutation negative relatives (n=13).Results: The prevalence of thromboembolic complications was higher in the cohort of LMNA mutation carriers than in DCM patients (22 vs 11%; p
