Abstract excerpt
The second exon of the AMP deaminase (AMPD) 1 gene is alternatively spliced in response to stage-specific signals elaborated during myocyte differentiation. Since inheritance of the mutation in exon 2 of the AMPD1 gene has been recently shown to be associated with a better prognosis of congestive heart failure and the alternative splicing of exon 2 modulates the residual activity of AMPD1 in individuals with this...
