| Research Abstract |
Comprehensive screening of Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was performed in consented autopsy cases diagnosed as cardiomyopathies (CMs), in order to evaluate the prevalence of gene mutations in sudden cardiac death caused by CMs. Our result suggested that missense mutations were detected in 42% of DCM cases and in 20% of HCM cases. It was indicated that genetic analysis of mtDNA was useful to decide diagnosis of CM for forensic autopsy cases.
