Cardiac Myosin Binding Protein-C Mutations in Families With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
21 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Small selected cohort studies suggest that mutations in the cardiac myosin binding protein-C (MYBPC3) gene cause late-onset, clinically benign hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The aim of this study was to test this hypothesis in a large series of families with HCM associated with MYBPC3 mutations. METHODS AND RESULTS: The initial study population comprised 57 probands with 42 mutations (26 [61.9%]...
