Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A key issue for cardiovascular genetic medicine is ascertaining if a putative mutation indeed causes dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). This is critically important as genetic DCM, usually presenting with advanced, life-threatening disease, may be preventable with early intervention in relatives known to carry the mutation. METHODS AND RESULTS: We recently undertook bidirectional resequencing of TNNT2, the...
