Molecular and Cellular Aspects of Troponin Cardiomyopathies

Abstract excerpt

Advances in molecular genetics have led to the identification of mutations in each troponin subunit that cause different human cardiomyopathies. Mutations in the genes for cardiac troponin T (CTnT), troponin I (CTnI), and troponin C (CTnC) cause familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) and are associated with varying prognosis and mild-to-moderate hypertrophy. Mutations in CTnT and CTnC can also cause dilated...
