Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the MYH9 gene, which encodes the heavy chain of the actin-based molecular motor non-muscle myosin II-A (NM2-A), cause a spectrum of rare blood disorders collectively termed MYH9-related diseases (MYH9-RD). Previous data indicate that mutations in the motor domain result in more severe phenotypes than those in the dimerization/filamentation domain. Here, we show that N93K mutation, previously...
