Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Left ventricular noncompaction of the myocardium (LVNC) has been recognized as a cardiomyopathy with a genetic etiology. Mutations in genes encoding sarcomere proteins were shown to be associated with LVNC. We evaluated the potential clinical impact of genetic analysis of sarcomere genes in patients with LVNC. METHODS AND RESULTS: We identified 5 mutations in cardiac myosin-binding protein C (MYBPC3)...
