Abstract excerpt
Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by a ventricular hypertrophy predominantly affecting the interventricular septum and associated with a large extent of myocardial and myofibrillar disarray. It is the most common cause of sudden death in the young. In the four disease loci found, three genes have been identified which code for beta-myosin heavy chain,...
