Abstract excerpt
DTNA encoding dystrobrevin-α (α-DB) is a putative causal gene associated with left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC). The aim of the study was to investigate the causal role of DTNA in LVNC using a transgenic mouse model.A missense mutation (c.146A > G, p.N49S) of DTNA was identified in a patient with LVNC by Sanger sequencing. Six independent lines of transgenic mice expressing the mutant DTNA...
