The variations of BOP gene in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract

Objective: The observation that Bop null allele mice show underdeveloped right ventricle and excessive development of left ventricle, suggests the possible relationship between human BOP gene and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCMP). In our study, we investigated this possible relationship between BOP gene variations and QT dispersion, a noninvasive arrhythmic risk marker for HCMP.
