Abstract excerpt
Heterozygosity for missense mutations in 1 of 3 seemingly redundant calmodulin-encoding (CALM-encoding) genes can cause life-threatening arrhythmias, suggesting that small fractions of mutant CALM protein suffice to cause a severe phenotype. However, the exact molar ratios of wild-type to mutant CALM protein in calmodulinopathy hearts remain unknown. The aim of the present study was to quantitate mutant versus...
