Genome-wide mapping of modifier chromosomal loci for human hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract excerpt

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a disease of mutant sarcomeric proteins (except for phenocopy). Cardiac hypertrophy is the clinical diagnostic hallmark of HCM and a major determinant of morbidity and mortality in various cardiovascular diseases. However, there is remarkable variability in expression of hypertrophy, even among HCM patients with identical causal mutations. We hypothesized modifier genes are...
