Sample Question
A 25 year old male comes to your office complaining of shortness of breath, chest pain, palpitations, lightheadedness with occasional fainting spells. You suspect congestive heart failure, but upon taking a family history the patient reveals that an uncle and cousin just “dropped dead” while playing football and basketball, respectively. You decide that an echocardiogram should be done immediately. The echocardiogram reveals a thickened ventricular septal wall of 3.2 cm. What gene is most likely mutated and causing this person’s symptoms?

α-Myosin heavy chain

Cardiac troponin

Titin

Cardiac troponin T

Ventricular essential myosin light chain
