Constitutively active AMP kinase mutations cause glycogen storage disease mimicking hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
2002-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in PRKAG2, the gene for the γ2 regulatory subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase, cause cardiac hypertrophy and electrophysiologic abnormalities, particularly preexcitation (Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome) and atrioventricular conduction block. To understand the mechanisms by which PRKAG2 defects cause disease, we defined novel mutations, characterized the associated cardiac histopathology, and studied...
