Protein aggregation cardiomyopathy is a life-threatening manifestation of a multisystem disorder caused by the exchange mutation in the gene encoding the human small heat shock protein alphaB-crystallin (hR120GCryAB). Genetic studies in mice have established cardiac hR120GCryAB expression causes increased activity of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and "reductive stress" (Rajasekaran et al., Cell 130: 427-439, 2007). However, the initiating molecular events in the pathogenesis of this n ...[more]
