Abstract excerpt
A trinucleotide repeat polymorphism in the MEF2A gene is described. MEF2A is expressed early in cardiac muscle development; thus the possibility of linkage between this polymorphism and familial cardiomyopathies was investigated in three families not linked to genes coding for known sarcomeric proteins. MEF2A was excluded as a candidate for dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)(LOD of -9.03) and hypertrophic...
