[Genetic causes of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy].

Abstract excerpt

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a dominantly inherited disease of the heart. Heterogeneous sets of mutations responsible for this condition have been identified in seven genes coding for proteins involved in the contraction mechanism or in the control of contraction of the myocardium. Known mutations imply structural and functional changes in the following proteins: in ventricle specific beta-myosin heavy chain,...
