Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the cardiac beta-myosin heavy-chain (beta-MHC) gene cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Recent genotype-phenotype correlation studies have shown that mutations carry prognostic significance. We studied five unrelated Chinese families with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Exons 3-27 and 40 of the beta-MHC gene were screened with both the polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation...
