Abstract excerpt
A novel missense mutation of the cardiac beta-myosin heavy chain gene was detected in five unrelated Japanese patients and their affected family members with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) by using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-DNA conformation polymorphism (DCP) analysis. Sequencing analysis revealed an A to G transition at codon 778 leading to replacement of the Asp residue, which is adjacent to the...
