Genetic basis for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: implications for diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract excerpt

Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a genetic disease defined by cardiac hypertrophy in the absence of an increased external load. It is the most common inherited cardiac disorder occurring in 1 in 500 individuals. Ten genes exhibiting over 200 mutations have been identified. However, about 75% are due to mutations in just three genes: e-myosin heavy chain, cardiac troponin T, and myosin binding protein-C....
