One third of Danish hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients with MYH7 mutations have mutations [corrected] in MYH7 rod region.

open access: yesEuropean journal of human genetics : EJHG, 2005
Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) is, in most cases, a disease of the sarcomere, caused by a mutation in one of 10 known sarcomere disease genes. More than 266 mutations have been identified since 1989. The FHC disease gene first characterized MYH7, encodes the cardiac beta-myosin heavy chain, and contains more than 115 of these mutations ...

Metabolic remodeling and cardiac dysfunction in left ventricular noncompaction: Insights from the MYH7 Q315R model.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a form of cardiomyopathy characterized by excessive trabeculation and a thin compacted myocardial layer. Variants in MYH7, which encodes the β-myosin heavy chain, are among the most commonly identified genetic ...

New phenotype and pathology features in MYH7-related distal myopathy

open access: yesNeuromuscular Disorders, 2012
Laing distal myopathy is an autosomal dominant disease due to mutations in the gene encoding for the human slow-β myosin heavy chain, MYH7. Most reports describe it as a mild, early onset myopathy with involvement usually restricted to foot extensors, hand finger extensors and neck flexors, and unspecific findings on muscle biopsy.

MYH7-related myopathies: Clinical, histopathological and imaging findings in a cohort of Italian patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BACKGROUND: Myosin heavy chain 7 (MYH7)-related myopathies are emerging as an important group of muscle diseases of childhood and adulthood, with variable clinical and histopathological expression depending on the type and location of the mutation ...

A Family with Myh7 Mutation and Different Forms of Cardiomyopathies

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2023
Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are common heart muscle disorders that are caused by pathogenic variants in sarcomere protein genes. In this study, we describe a variant in the MHY7 gene, segregating in a family having three different phenotypes of cardiomyopathies.

Rapid diagnostic testing of a neonate in a family with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2020
Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common but severe genetic disease. A pregnant woman with familial HCM was referred to our hospital as both the couple and their families were concerned that the baby would later develop HCM.

Impaired muscle morphology in a Drosophila model of myosin storage myopathy was suppressed by overexpression of an E3 ubiquitin ligase

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2020
Myosin is vital for body movement and heart contractility. Mutations in MYH7, encoding slow/β-cardiac myosin heavy chain, are an important cause of hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy, as well as skeletal muscle disease. A dominant missense mutation (

Clinical and laboratory reporting impact of ACMG-AMP and modified ClinGen variant classification frameworks in MYH7-related cardiomyopathy

open access: yes, 2021
Purpose: ClinGen provides gene-specific guidance for interpretation of sequence variants in MYH7. We assessed laboratory and clinical impact of reclassification by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics-Association for Molecular Pathology (
