Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to screen 36 unrelated patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM; 16 familial and 20 sporadic cases) from a genetically homogeneous area in eastern Finland for variants in the cardiac beta-myosin heavy chain (beta-MHC) and alpha-tropomyosin (alpha-TM) genes. BACKGROUND: Mutations in the beta-MHC and alpha-TM genes have been reported to be responsible for 30% to 40% and...
