1 Jul 1996
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The disease-bearing genes for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in HCM families have been identified as the beta-myosin heavy chain, alpha-tropomyosin, and cardiac troponin T genes. Three HCM kindreds with three distinct point mutations in the alpha-tropomyosin gene had extensive clinical evaluations. DESIGN AND RESULTS: Single-strand conformation polymorphism gel analysis of polymerase chain reaction...
