Abstract excerpt
In this chapter we consider a current perception of the molecular mechanisms controlling myofilament activation with emphasis on alterations that may occur in familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC). FHC is a sarcomeric disease (100) with an autosomal dominant pattern of heritability (27, 51). There is a substantial body of evidence implicating missense mutations in the beta-MHC gene as causal for the...
