Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed the exon 9, 13, 14, 15, and 16 of cardiac beta myosin heavy chain gene in 96 Japanese patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by using PCR-DNA conformation polymorphism analysis. The analysis revealed a sequence variation of the exon 16 in one patient. The sequence variation of a G to C transversion with replacement of Asn by Lys at the codon 615 was confirmed by sequencing and by dot-blot...
