A founder <i>MYBPC3</i> mutation results in HCM with a high risk of sudden death after the fourth decade of life

Abstract

p.F305Pfs*27 mutation carriers have a high probability to develop the disease between ages 30 years and 40 years with a significant major risk if they are men. This founder mutation is associated with an increase of SCD/aborted SCD events after the fourth decade of life.These findings are of relevant importance for management and clinical decision-making in patients with HCM.
