Abstract excerpt
The sarcomeric proteins and organization of cardiac myofibrils appeared intact in multiple unrelated patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In two subjects demonstrating the missense mutation at position 403 (Arg to Gln) in the beta-myosin heavy chain gene, total myosin and immunoreactive beta-myosin heavy chain levels were similar to those found in other patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and various...
