The cardiac myosin binding protein-C–myosin S2 interaction: modulation of cardiac contractility and its role in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology Plus
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common inherited cardiac disorder caused primarily by pathogenic variants in sarcomeric genes encoding β-cardiac myosin heavy chain ( MYH7 ) and cardiac myosin binding protein-C ( MYBPC3 ; cMyBP-C).

Precision medicine in complex diseases—Molecular subgrouping for improved prediction and treatment stratification

open access: yesJournal of Internal Medicine, Volume 294, Issue 4, Page 378-396, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Complex diseases are caused by a combination of genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors and comprise common noncommunicable diseases, including allergies, cardiovascular disease, and psychiatric and metabolic disorders. More than 25% of Europeans suffer from a complex disease, and together these diseases account for 70% of all deaths ...

A pathogenic nonsense mutation (c.1522C>T) of the MYBPC3 gene is implicated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 2711-2717, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a genetically and clinically heterogeneous cardiomyopathy, is commonly caused by mutations in the MYBPC3 gene or other various sarcomeric genes. HCM patients carrying sarcomeric gene mutations may experience an asymptomatic period at early stage but still possess an escalating risk of developing adverse ...
