Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy associated with a novel missense mutation affecting the ATP-binding region of the cardiac beta-myosin heavy chain.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the cardiac beta -myosin heavy chain gene (MYH7), and other genes encoding cardiac sarcomere proteins may cause familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (F-HCM), an autosomal dominant disease, characterized by myocardial hypertrophy. We analysed the MYH7 gene in three generations of a family with one borderline and four clinically verified cases of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and identified a mutation...
