The "final common pathway" hypothesis and inherited cardiovascular disease. The role of cytoskeletal proteins in dilated cardiomyopathy.

Abstract excerpt

The genetic basis of a number of inherited cardiovascular diseases has been elucidated over the last few years, including the long QT syndromes, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy. While genetic heterogeneity has been demonstrated in most of these diseases, a pattern has emerged, specifically that genes encoding proteins with similar functions or involved in the same pathway are responsible...
