The effect of variable troponin C mutation thin filament incorporation on cardiac muscle twitch contractions.

Abstract excerpt

One of the complexities of understanding the pathology of familial forms of cardiac diseases is the level of mutation incorporation in sarcomeres. Computational models of the sarcomere that are spatially explicit offer an approach to study aspects of mutational incorporation into myofilaments that are more challenging to get at experimentally. We studied two well characterized mutations of cardiac TnC, L48Q and...
