Abstract excerpt
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is frequently caused by mutations in the MYPBC3 gene, which encodes the cardiac myosin-binding protein C (cMyBP-C). Most pathogenic variants in MYPBC3 are either nonsense mutations or result in frameshifts, suggesting that the primary disease mechanism involves reduced functional cMyBP-C protein levels within sarcomeres. However, a subset of MYPBC3 variants are missense...
