A novel mutation in the VHL gene in a Chinese family with von Hippel-Lindau disease
Background Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant inherited cancer syndrome, and VHL is identified as a tumor suppressor gene. The main objective of this study was to identify disease-causing mutations in a Chinese family affected with ...

A novel mutation in the tropomyosin 1 gene in a Chinese patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited heart disease characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy. Although sarcomeric gene mutations can explain many HCM cases, the genetic basis of approximately half of HCM cases remains elusive.
