Novel polymorphisms in PDLIM3 and PDLIM5 gene encoding Z ‐line proteins increase risk of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy
19 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM), characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, is a primary cardiomyopathy resulting in heart failure. During heart contraction, the Z-line is responsible for transmitting force between sarcomeres and is also a hot spot for muscle cell signalling. Mutations in Z-line proteins have been linked to cardiomyopathies in both humans and mice....
