Sudden Death due to Troponin T Mutations

TLDR
Data support the observation that apparently diverse cardiac troponin T gene mutations produce a consistent disease phenotype, and genotyping at this locus may be particularly informative in patient management and counselling.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: A Systematic review

Barry J. Maron
- 13 Mar 2002 - 
TL;DR: An appreciation that HCM, although an important cause of death and disability at all ages, does not invariably convey ominous prognosis and is compatible with normal longevity should dictate a large measure of reassurance for many patients.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Distribution of Disease Genes, Spectrum of Mutations, and Implications for a Molecular Diagnosis Strategy

TL;DR: A systematic screening of 9 genes in a large population to evaluate the distribution of the disease genes, and to determine the best molecular strategy in clinical practice, found that screening of already known mutations is not helpful and several mutations should be searched.

Sudden Cardiac Death

TL;DR: Total mortality, rather than classifications of cardiac and arrhythmic mortality, should be used as primary objectives for many outcome studies.

Alpha-tropomyosin and cardiac troponin T mutations cause familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a disease of the sarcomere.

TL;DR: It is shown that missense mutations in the alpha-tropomyosin gene cause familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC), and it is suggested that abnormal stoichiometry of sarcomeric proteins can cause cardiac hypertrophy.

Mutations in the genes for cardiac troponin T and alpha-tropomyosin in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

TL;DR: Mutations in alpha-tropomyosin are a rare cause of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, accounting for approximately 3 percent of cases in this referral-center population.
