Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the cardiac myosin-binding protein C gene (MYBPC3) have been reported to be associated with delayed expression of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and a relatively good prognosis. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical manifestations in patients with familial HCM caused by a novel nonsense mutation, S297X, in MYBPC3. METHODS: We analyzed the sarcomere protein genes in 93...
