TNNT2 variants may influence DCM susceptibility in Han Chinese; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Are TNNT2 gene polymorphisms associated with susceptibility to idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy in the Han Chinese population?
TNNT2 gene polymorphisms, specifically rs3729547 and rs3729843, are significantly associated with susceptibility to idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy in the Han Chinese population.
