Transgenic rabbits expressing mutant essential light chain do not develop hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in multiple sarcomeric proteins can cause familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Although a M149V mutation in the myosin light chain is associated with the human disease, the data from transgenic (TG) mouse models are conflicting. When a human genomic fragment containing the M149V essential myosin light chain was used to generate TG mice, the phenotype was recapitulated. However, when the mouse cDNA...
