Expression of Messenger RNA of the Cardiac Isoforms of Troponin T and I in Myopathic Skeletal Muscle

Abstract excerpt

In the absence of clinical signs, elevated values of the cardiac isoforms of troponin T (cTnT) and I (cTnI) can be found in the serum samples of some patients with skeletal muscle myopathies; the cause is unclear. We studied the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of cTnT and cTnI in the skeletal muscles of 24 patients with histologically proven myopathies and in 18 patients in whom a myopathy could be excluded. For...
