Abstract excerpt
Mutations in cardiac Troponin T (TnT) are responsible for approximately 15% of all cases of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC). This review summarizes recent data from in vitro assays, transgenic models and clinical studies on how TnT mutations alter the regulation of cardiac muscle contraction. Each TnT mutation has somewhat different effects on myofilament properties (increased myofilament Ca(2)+...
