MYH7 Genotype–Phenotype Correlation in a Cohort of Finnish Patients [PDF]
Cardiomyopathies (CMPs) are a heterogeneous group of diseases, frequently genetic, affecting the heart muscle. The symptoms range from asymptomatic to dyspnea, arrhythmias, syncope, and sudden cardiac death.

Myogenic IL-6 Mediates Myofiber Type Transition in Porcine Skeletal Muscle Satellite Cells via the STAT3/myh7 Pathway [PDF]
Myofiber type determines pork quality, with type I fibers conferring superior traits via myosin heavy chain 7 (Myh7). As a crucial myokine, interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays important roles in skeletal muscle development, whether it participates in myh7 ...

Integrated analysis of MYH6, MYH7, and MYH7B expression and their associated microRNAs in human end-stage heart failure [PDF]
BackgroundCardiac contractility is regulated by two myosin heavy chain (MHC) protein isoforms, α and β, encoded by the MYH6 and MYH7 genes. The intronic regions of these genes encode the microRNAs miR-208a and miR-208b, which are key regulators of ...

Left Ventricular Structural, Physiological, and Transcriptomic Abnormalities in a Novel Porcine Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Model [PDF]
Summary: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a disease of heart muscle commonly caused by variants in genes encoding sarcomere-associated proteins. The mechanisms by which these variants lead to the phenotype are uncertain, partly because of the lack of

Genetic Architecture of Pediatric Cardiomyopathies Assessed by Whole-Exome Sequencing: Insights Into Early-Onset and Syndromic Forms. [PDF]
Pediatric cardiomyopathies (CM) are a heterogeneous group of disorders. Their genetic basis remains poorly defined, particularly in children with early‐onset and apparently isolated forms. With a diagnostic yield of 62.7%, our findings suggest that whole‐exome sequencing could improve the diagnosis, genetic counseling, and clinical management of ...

Sacubitril/Valsartan Ameliorates Crizotinib-Induced Cardiotoxicity in Mice
Background: Lung cancer is one of the major cause of death globally. Crizotinib is a first-line drug used in treating non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying its cardiotoxicity are unknown.

Myosin heavy chain 7 (MYH7) encodes the human heart myosin heavy chain subunit, which plays an important role in myocardial contraction. MYH7 is the main pathogenic gene that causes Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).

Genetic Study of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in Iranian children: The Role of a De novo Variant [PDF]
Background and Objectives: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a common cardiac disease diagnosed in young adults and rarely detectable in childhood. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy exhibits considerable diversity in its clinical and genetic characteristics.
