Abstract excerpt
The TTN gene encodes a crucial structural protein within cardiac sarcomeres, and its variants may contribute to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and dilated cardiomyopathy; however, phenotype and genotype are different. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was conducted on a Chinese proband diagnosed with HCM. In silico splicing prediction tools and minigene assays were employed to investigate the impact of the...
