Lineage-specific regulatory changes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy unraveled by single-nucleus RNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics

Abstract excerpt

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common cardiac genetic disorder characterized by cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and cardiac fibrosis. Pathological cardiac remodeling in the myocardium of HCM patients may progress to heart failure. An in-depth elucidation of the lineage-specific changes in pathological cardiac remodeling of HCM is pivotal for the development of therapies to mitigate the progression. Here,...
