PALLD and familial dilated cardiomyopathy: Analysis of MYPN and PALLD mRNA levels in LV biopsies from human ICM and DCM patients showed an ~2.9-fold upregulation of MYPN and an ~1.9-fold upregulation of the structurally similar 200 kDa PALLD isoform in DCM hearts, whereas the overall transcript level of all PALLD isoforms except for potential truncated N-terminal transcript(s) was ~2.8- and ~3.0-fold reduced in DCM and ICM patients, respectively.
