MYH7 mutation is associated with mitral valve leaflet elongation in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
1 Jul 2024
Abstract excerpt
Mitral valve (MV) leaflet elongation is recognized as a primary phenotypic expression of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) that contributes to obstruction. This study investigates the correlation between MV length and genotype mutations in the two predominant genes, myosin-binding protein C (MYBPC3), and the β-myosin heavy chain (MYH7) in patients with obstructive HCM (OHCM). Among the 402 OHCM patients, there...
