OBJECTIVES: We studied the clinical and genetic features of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) caused by mutations in the myosin-binding protein C gene (MYBPC3) in 110 consecutive, unrelated patients and family members of European descent. BACKGROUND: Mutations in the MYBPC3 gene represent the cause of HCM in approximately 15% of familial cases. MYBPC3 mutations were reported to include mainly nonsense versus...
