Inherited Cardiomyopathies and the Role of Mutations in Non-coding Regions of the Genome
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2018 Cardiomyopathies (CMs) are a group of cardiac pathologies caused by an intrinsic defect within the myocardium. The relative contribution of genetic mutations in the pathogenesis of certain CMs, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), arrythmogenic ...
