The Maine Coon Cat Harboring the MYBPC3-A31P Mutation: A Genotype-Stratified Phenotypic Characterization of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
2026-08-19
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background: Most animal models of HCM are mouse-based, but the thin interventricular septum in mice makes it difficult to clearly distinguish pathological hypertrophy, which introduces substantial errors and constrains basic HCM research. Cats develop HCM spontaneously, and the common MYBPC3-A31P variant in cats is homologous to human mutations in both genetics and pathology, with a larger body size that...
