Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The calmodulin-binding transcription activator 2 (CAMTA2) promotes transcription of genes involved in cardiac hypertrophy through its interaction with Nkx2.5 and is an indispensable transcription coactivator for cardiac hypertrophy. We hypothesized that variants in the coding region of CAMTA2 would affect its function and confer a risk of cardiac hypertrophy. METHODS: The effects of the variant...
