In Vivo Cardiac Myosin Binding Protein C Gene Transfer Rescues Myofilament Contractile Dysfunction in Cardiac Myosin Binding Protein C Null Mice
2 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Decreased expression of cardiac myosin binding protein C (cMyBPC) in the heart has been implicated as a consequence of mutations in cMyBPC that lead to abnormal contractile function at the myofilament level, thereby contributing to the development of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in humans. It has not been established whether increasing the levels of cMyBPC in the intact heart can improve myofilament...
