Abstract excerpt
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a significant cause of pediatric heart failure. Mutations in proteins that regulate cardiac muscle contraction can cause DCM; however, the mechanisms by which molecular-level mutations contribute to cellular dysfunction are not well understood. Better understanding of these mechanisms might enable the development of targeted therapeutics that benefit patient subpopulations with...
