Abstract excerpt
Although most founder mutation carriers of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), such as the cardiac myosin-binding protein C gene (MYBPC3), arose from a common ancestor exhibit favorable clinical phenotypes, there still remain small fractions of these carriers associated with increased cardiovascular events. However, few data exist regarding the defining factors that modify phenotypes of these patients,...
