Abstract excerpt
Genetic variation in genes regulating metabolism may be advantageous in some settings but not others. The non-failing adult heart relies heavily on fatty acids as a fuel substrate and source of ATP. In contrast, the failing heart favors glucose as a fuel source. A bootstrap analysis for genes with deviant allele frequencies in cardiomyopathy cases versus controls identified the MTCH2 gene as having unusual...
