Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The molecular basis for the antithrombin (AT) deficiency and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) combined in a Japanese patient was investigated. METHODS: We analyzed candidate genes -SERPINC1 for AT deficiency, and TNNT2 and LMNA for DCM. In addition, we examined the characteristics of recombinant mutant AT and evaluated the LMNA mutation associated with DCM by molecular modeling. RESULTS: Genome sequencing...
