Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) severity greatly varies among patients even with the same HCM gene mutations. This variation is largely regulated by modifier gene(s), which, however, remain largely unknown. The current study is aimed to identify modifier genes using BXD strains, a large murine genetic reference population (GRP) derived from crosses between C57BL/6 J (B6) and D2 DBA/2 J (D2) mice. D2...
