Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The role of calcineurin (protein phosphatase 2B (PP2B)) in the pathogenesis of human dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) has not been fully elucidated. We determined the potential involvement of calcineurin in the pathogenesis of DCM caused by mutations in CnB1, a subunit of calcineurin. METHODS: By whole-exome sequencing, we identified a new CnB1 variant in a Han Chinese proband with cardiomyopathy from a...
