Abstract excerpt
Titin (TTN) encodes the largest protein in the human body and is essential for sarcomere assembly and muscle mechanosensation. Truncating TTN mutations are a leading cause of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Here, we generated two induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from female DCM patients, each carrying a heterozygous nonsense point mutation that produces a truncated titin protein. Both lines were...
