Abstract excerpt
Background - Variants within the alpha-tropomyosin gene (TPM1) cause dominantly inherited cardiomyopathies, including dilated (DCM), hypertrophic (HCM) and restrictive (RCM) cardiomyopathy. Here we investigated whether TPM1 variants observed in DCM and HCM patients affect cardiomyocyte physiology differently. Methods - We identified a large family with DCM carrying a recently identified TPM1 gene variant (T201M)...
