Abstract excerpt
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common monogenic inherited heart disease and is a major cause of sudden death in individuals under 35 years of age. HCM is associated with progressive tissue-level disarray and subcellular disorganization in individual cardiomyocytes. Mutations in β-cardiac myosin (MYH7), the second most common genetic cause of HCM, commonly result in changes in sarcomeric force...
