Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of cardiac troponin I R145W mutation, detected in Chinese patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, on Ca(2+) current modulation. METHODS: R146W mutation (resemble R145W in human) was introduced into rat cardiac troponin I cDNA by site-directed mutagenesis. With EGFP as a reporter gene, replication-defective adenovirus containing the wild or mutant cTnI gene was constructed....
