OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to understand the clinical and molecular features of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in which a mitochondrial abnormality was strongly suspected. BACKGROUND Defects of the mitochondrial genome are responsible for a heterogeneous group of clinical disorders, including cardiomyopathy. The majority of pathogenic mutations are heteroplasmic, with mutated and wild-type mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA) coexisting within the same cell… CONTINUE READING
