| Abstract: | The prevalence and clinical profile of cardiac troponin T gene mutations were evaluated in 150 consecutive patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy from the well-defined geographic region of Tuscany. Troponin T mutations had a low prevalence (3.3%; including a newly described Phe110Leu mutation) and were associated with heterogeneous clinical expression and outcome. |
