Abstract excerpt
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a primary cardiac disease, characterised by idiopathic myocardial hypertrophy, and is caused by defects in sarcomeric protein encoding genes. One of these genes is cardiac myosin binding protein C (MyBP-C), in which a number of splice site and duplication mutations causing HCM have been described. During mutation screening of a South African HCM population by PCR-SSCP, a missense...
