Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a genetic model of cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract excerpt

Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is an autosomal dominant disorder manifesting as cardiac hypertrophy in the absence of increased cardiac work load, which has been studied as a model of myocardial hypertrophy in humans. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is genetically heterogeneous with three known disease-genes and two further mapped loci. The disease-genes encode contractile proteins of the thick and thin...
