Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the cardiac myosin-binding protein C gene (MYBPC3) are responsible for up to 50% of familial cases with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC). Compared to patients with mutations in other sarcomeric genes, patients with MYBPC3 mutations would have a milder form of the disease, with a lower incidence of sudden cardiac death. Because most of the mutations have been found in only one family, it is currently...
