In cardiomyocytes, FHOD1 was found at the intercalated disc and costameres (Al Haj et al. 2015; Dwyer et al. 2014) with expression levels being elevated in the hearts of mouse models of dilated cardiomyopathy and patients with the disease (Dwyer et al. 2014). The gene discussed is FHOD1; the disease is dilated cardiomyopathy.
