Abstract
A variant in troponin T associated with dilated cardiomyopathy, R134G, decouples thin filament activation from calcium and myosin binding. These defects lead to molecular and cellular hypocontractility and sarcomeric disorganization in cardiomyocytes, demonstrating that altered molecular forces drive the disease pathogenesis.
