Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: diagnostic and therapeutic implications of recent genetic studies.

Abstract excerpt

Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the first primary cardiomyopathy to have yielded to the techniques of modern molecular genetics. In the past few years, four genes responsible for this disease have been identified, all of which code for sarcomeric structural proteins. In addition, structure-function analysis and genotype-phenotype correlation studies have shed significant light on the molecular basis of...
