Abstract excerpt
Mutations in myosin heavy chain (MyHC) can cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) that is characterized by hypertrophy, histopathology, contractile dysfunction, and sudden death. The signaling pathways involved in the pathology of HCM have not been elucidated, and an unresolved question is whether blocking hypertrophic growth in HCM may be maladaptive or beneficial. To address these questions, a mouse model of...
