Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: FLNC (filamin C), a member of the filamin family predominantly expressed in striated muscles, plays a crucial role in bridging the cytoskeleton and ECM (extracellular matrix) in cardiomyocytes, thereby maintaining heart integrity and function. Although genetic variants within the N-terminal ABD (actin-binding domain) of FLNC have been identified in patients with cardiomyopathy, the precise...
