Abstract excerpt
Over 40 different mutations in the cardiac myosin heavy chain gene (MYH7) have been associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC), but no study has analyzed variation at this locus within the normal human population. Here we determine the extent and distribution of nucleotide variation in the 5808-bp MYH7 coding sequence in 25 normal individuals without FHC. We identified six single-nucleotide...
