Abstract excerpt
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common, autosomal dominant disorder primarily characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy and is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in youth.

While many mutations in the globular head region of the protein have been reported and studied,...
