Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in MYBPC3 are the most common cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). These mutations produce dysfunctional protein that is quickly degraded and not incorporated in the myofilaments. Most patients are heterozygous and allelic expression differs between cells. We hypothesized that this would lead to cell-to-cell variation in cardiac myosin binding protein-C (cMyBP-C, encoded by MYBPC3...
