The gene involved in familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy on chromosome 11 was recently identified as the cardiac myosin binding protein-C (MyBP-C) gene. The phenotype of two families associated with mutation in this gene is described here and compared to that of five families with mutations in the beta-myosin heavy chain gene.
