Abstract
Abnormalities in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) including specific deletion
s and point mutations have been found in an increasing number of cases
of both dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The role that these
mutations may play in contributing to the cardiomyopathic phenotype is
discussed in this survey of the recent literature. (C) 1998 by Elsevi
