Genetic alteration of human <i>MYH6</i> is mimicked by SARS-CoV-2 polyprotein: mapping viral variants of cardiac interest
2021-11-29
Abstract excerpt
Acute cardiac injury has been observed in a subset of COVID-19 patients, but the molecular basis for this clinical phenotype is unknown. It has been hypothesized that molecular mimicry may play a role in triggering an autoimmune inflammatory reaction in some individuals after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Here we investigate if linear peptides contained in proteins that are primarily expressed in the heart also occur in t...
