Abstract excerpt
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a myocardial disease associated with mutations in sarcomeric genes. Three mutations were found in ANKRD1, encoding ankyrin repeat domain 1 (ANKRD1), a transcriptional co-factor located in the sarcomere. In the present study, we investigated whether expression of HCM-associated ANKRD1 mutations affects contraction parameters after gene transfer in engineered heart tissues...
