Alternative splicing has a major role in cardiac adaptive responses, as exemplified by the isoform switch of the sarcomeric protein titin, which adjusts ventricular filling. By positional cloning… (More)
Advances in molecular genetics present new opportunities and challenges for cardiologists who manage patients and families with cardiomyopathies. The aims of this position statement of the European… (More)
Ratings of family home movies of 12 infants (0 to 2 years old) who were later diagnosed as autistic and 12 normal infants were performed by two diagnosis-blind psychiatrists with Infant Behavior… (More)
Disease-causing mutations in cardiac myosin heavy chain (beta-MHC) are identified in about one-third of families with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The effect of myosin mutations on calcium… (More)
BACKGROUND
Muscle LIM protein (MLP) is an essential nuclear regulator of myogenic differentiation. Additionally, it may act as an integrator of protein assembly of the actin-based cytoskeleton.… (More)
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heterogeneous autosomal dominant cardiac disorder with a prevalence of 1 in 500. Over 450 different pathogenic mutations in at least 16 genes have been… (More)
The Infant Behavioral Summarized Evaluation (IBSE) is a rating scale adapted from the Behavioral Summarized Evaluation (BSE) and specifically related to the assessment of behaviors of young children… (More)
The analysis of 11 home movies taken by parents before the recognition of autistic or atypical disorders of their own child has confirmed the major value of this method for describing early… (More)
