MYBPC3-c.772G > a mutation results in haploinsufficiency and altered myosin cycling kinetics in a patient induced stem cell derived cardiomyocyte model of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Approximately 40% of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy mutations are linked to the sarcomere protein cardiac myosin binding protein-C (cMyBP-C). These mutations are either classified as missense mutations or truncation mutations. One mutation whose nature has been inconsistently reported in the literature is the MYBPC3-c.772G > A mutation. Using patient-derived human induced pluripotent stem cells differentiated to cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), we have performed a mechanistic study of the structure-function relationship for this MYBPC3-c.772G > A mutation versus a mutation corrected, isogenic cell line.
