Abstract excerpt
Genetic mutations in the MYBPC3 gene encoding cardiac myosin binding protein C (cMyBP-C) are the most common cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Myocardial fibrosis (MF) plays a critical role in the development of HCM. However, the mechanism for mutant MYBPC3-induced MF is not well defined. In this study, we developed a R495Q mutant pig model using cytosine base editing and observed an early-onset MF in...
