OBJECTIVE To investigate the molecular genetic basis of the cause of disease in a family with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. BACKGROUND Mutation within the beta cardiac myosin heavy chain gene has been shown to be the pathogenetic mechanism underlying the disease in several families, though clear evidence of heterogeneity has been reported. METHODS A family with a history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. CONCLUSIONS This paper reports a mutation at aminoacid position 908 within exon 23 of the beta cardiac myosin heavy chain gene, resulting in a conversion of a leucine to valine. This base substitution was identified in an individual with a confirmed family history but with equivocal symptoms of the disease. Inheritance of the mutation by his symptom free juvenile offspring demonstrates the application of the technique to presymptomatic diagnosis.

D009218 Myosins A diverse superfamily of proteins that function as translocating proteins. They share the common characteristics of being able to bind ACTINS and hydrolyze MgATP. Myosins generally consist of heavy chains which are involved in locomotion, and light chains which are involved in regulation. Within the structure of myosin heavy chain are three domains: the head, the neck and the tail. The head region of the heavy chain contains the actin binding domain and MgATPase domain which provides energy for locomotion. The neck region is involved in binding the light-chains. The tail region provides the anchoring point that maintains the position of the heavy chain. The superfamily of myosins is organized into structural classes based upon the type and arrangement of the subunits they contain.
