Differential methylation of CpG sites in two isoforms of myosin binding protein C, an important hypertrophic cardiomyopathy gene
25 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common form of cardiac disease. Over 400 causative mutations have been identified in 20 sarcomere and myofilament related genes. The high density of mutations found in genes associated with HCM may suggest that mechanisms promoting increased mutability play a role in disease prevalence. The objective of this study was to evaluate the CpG methylation level of the exonic...
