Abstract excerpt
The mechanism(s) by which mutations in sarcomeric proteins cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) remains unknown. A leading hypothesis proposes that mutant sarcomeric proteins impair cardiac myocyte contractility, providing an impetus for compensatory hypertrophy. To test this hypothesis, we determined the impact of expression of a mutant (Arg92Gln) human cardiac troponin T (cTnT), known to cause HCM in humans,...
