This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The broad, long-term goal of this study is to study and understand the genetic (inherited) factors that can cause heart failure and sudden death. The specific human diseases studied are familial cardiomyopathies. We will analyze the clinical features, the evolution and gene defects causing familial cardiomyopathies (dilated, hypertrophic and right ventricular) to improve the clinical management, prevention and genetic counseling of this diseases.
