Abstract excerpt
Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy has a complex multigenic background. Previous work allowed to determine one of the gene loci responsible for this disease on chromosome 14 band q11-q12, and linked it to the alpha and beta-cardiac myosin heavy chains. In this study we demonstrate changes in exon 21, coding for beta-myosin heavy chain. We described 4 patients from different families with an unequivocal...
