Relationship of disease-associated gene expression to cardiac phenotype is buffered by genetic diversity and chromatin regulation.

Abstract excerpt

Expression of a cohort of disease-associated genes, some of which are active in fetal myocardium, is considered a hallmark of transcriptional change in cardiac hypertrophy models. How this transcriptome remodeling is affected by the common genetic variation present in populations is unknown. We examined the role of genetics, as well as contributions of chromatin proteins, to regulate cardiac gene expression and...
