Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The beta-myosin heavy chain (beta-MHC) gene has been identified as a major locus for familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHCM). We recently showed that one of the common mutations associated with FHCM is expressed in the cardiac muscle messenger RNA (mRNA) of an affected individual. Since beta-MHC is a major sarcomeric protein of cardiac and skeletal muscle, studies were performed to determine...
