Cardiac-specific inactivation of Prdm16 effects cardiac conduction abnormalities and cardiomyopathy-associated phenotypes.

Abstract excerpt

A variant in the PRDM16 locus has been correlated with QRS duration in an electrocardiogram genome-wide association study, and the deletion of PRDM16 has been implicated as a causal factor of the dilated cardiomyopathy that is linked to 1p36 deletion syndrome. We aimed to determine how a null mutation of Prdm16 affects cardiac function and study the underlying mechanism of the resulting phenotype in an...
