Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the MYH7 gene, which encodes β-myosin heavy chain (β-MHC), are a significant cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). These variants may lead to variable clinical outcomes, thereby influencing responsiveness to targeted therapies such as mavacamten, a cardiac myosin inhibitor. In this study, we employed AlphaFold modeling to construct structural models of both wild-type (WT) and mutant β-MHC...
