Abstract excerpt
Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHCM) is thought to be caused by missense mutations in cardiac beta-myosin heavy chain (beta-MHC) gene in 30-40% of affected Caucasian individuals. On the other hand, it has been reported that Japanese FHCM is closely linked to DNA marker PALB on chromosome 18q by linkage analysis. Therefore, in order to elucidate the etiological significance of missense mutations in beta-MHC...
