Abstract excerpt
Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy has been associated with several mutations in the gene encoding human cardiac troponin I (HCTnI). A missense mutation in the inhibitory region of TnI replaces an arginine residue at position 145 with a glycine and cosegregates with the disease. Results from several assays indicate that the inhibitory function of HCTnI(R145G) is significantly reduced. When HCTnI(R145G) was...
