ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

	Myoz2 -/- mice showed an enhanced calcineurin signaling in striated muscle, an excess of slow skeletal muscle fibers and an accelerated cardiomyopathy in response to pathological biomechanical stress
	Myoz2-overexpressing mice did not develop cardiac hypertrophy and had no impairment of contractile function by cardiac catheterization and echocardiography
