We found a five-basepair insertion/deletion polymorphism in intron 3 of TNNT2, one of the genes responsible for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. These five bases may be part of an intronic polypyrimidine tract sequence that may affect splicing. The purpose of the study was to examine the association of the polymorphism with cardiac hypertrophy. The study population consisted of 151 subjects with prominent concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, and 987 healthy subjects recruited from medical checkups (control population). The deletion/deletion genotype tended to be associated with a larger left ventricular mass/height ratio in the HCM population (p
