Identification of a missense mutation in the melusin-encoding ITGB1BP2 gene in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy.

Abstract excerpt

In a heterogeneous cohort of patients (n=255) with sporadic and familial dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), we searched for novel disease-associated mutations in the human melusin-encoding ITGB1BP2 gene and found only one missense mutation, which was a substitution of alanine for glycine at position 313 located in the carboxy-terminal spacer region of the molecule. This point mutation (c.938C>G) was identified in a...
