From the Sarcomere to the Nucleus: Role of Genetics and Signaling in Structural Heart Disease

Abstract excerpt

The identification of genetic mutations underlying familial structural heart disease has provided exciting new insights into how alterations in structural components of the cardiomyocyte lead to different forms of cardiomyopathy. Specifically, mutations in components of the sarcomere are frequently associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, whereas mutations in cytoskeletal proteins lead to dilated...
