Abstract excerpt
The R403Q mutation in the sarcomere protein beta-myosin heavy chain (β-MHC) is a known genetic cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), associated with ventricular hypercontractility, impaired relaxation, and cardiac arrhythmias. Despite extensive research, the mutations impact on myosin contractile properties remains unclear partly due to discrepancies across different model systems. In this study, we used a...
