Abstract excerpt
The etiology of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has been ascribed to mutations in genes encoding sarcomere proteins. In particular, mutations in MYBPC3, a gene which encodes cardiac myosin binding protein-C (cMyBP-C), have been implicated in over one third of HCM cases. Of these mutations, 70% are predicted to result in C'-truncated protein products, which are undetectable in tissue samples. Heterozygous...
