Abstract excerpt
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an autosomal dominant disorder resulting from mutations in genes for at least 15 various sarcomere-related proteins including cardiac β-myosin heavy chain, cardiac myosin-binding protein C, and cardiac troponin T. The troponin T gene (TNNT2) mutation has the third incidence of familial HCM, and the genotype-phenotype correlation of this gene still remains insufficient in...
