Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in sarcomeric proteins. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is a key switch molecule in the sarcomere. Mutations in cTnI have been identified in <1% of genotyped HCM families. METHODS: To study the prevalence, clinical significance and functional consequences of cTnI mutations, genetic testing was performed in 120...
