A novel mutation of the myh7 gene in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Goel N, Huddleston CB, Fiore AC. A novel mutation of the MYH7 gene in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Turk J Pediatr 2018; 60: 315-318. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic disorder characterized by asymmetric cardiac hypertrophy due to inherited mutations in genes that encode sarcomeric proteins. MYH7, which encodes β-myosin heavy chain, is among the most commonly mutated genes in patients affected by HCM. We aimed to...
