Abstract excerpt
Gene mutations in cardiac troponin I (cTnI) account for up to 5% of genotyped families with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC). Little is known about how cTnI mutations cause disease. Five lines of transgenic mice were generated which overexpress the human disease-causing cTnI gene mutation, Gly203Ser (designated cTnI-G203S), in a cardiac-specific manner. Mice were compared to transgenic mice that...
