BACKGROUND: Cardiac troponin I (TNNI3) gene mutations account for 3% of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and carriers have a heterogeneous phenotype, with increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Only one mutation (p.Arg21Cys) has been reported in the N terminus of the protein. In model organisms, it impairs PKA (protein kinase A) phosphorylation, increases calcium sensitivity, and causes diastolic dysfunction....
