Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy MYH7 mutation R723G alters mRNA secondary structure.

Abstract excerpt

Point mutation R723G in the MYH7 gene causes hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Heterozygous patients with this mutation exhibit a comparable allelic imbalance of the MYH7 gene. On average 67% of the total MYH7 mRNA are derived from the MYH7R723G-allele and 33% from the MYH7WT allele. Mechanisms underlying mRNA allelic imbalance are largely unknown. We suggest that a different mRNA lifetime of the alleles may...
