TL;DR

Exome sequencing of an Indian-specific HCM patient cohort was used and six heterozygous missense variants in unrelated patients were identified, highlighting a potential genetic risk associated with the AKT/mTOR/RICTOR axis in patients with HCM.

Therapeutic targeting of MYBPC3 mutation-specific hypertrophic cardiomyopathy guided by network modeling

These studies suggest that targeting mTOR as a translationally relevant target for a mutation-induced hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, as well as demonstrating the utility of guiding precision therapies by iterating between network models and experimental validation, are suggested.

MAP3K7 Loss of Function Causes Dilated Cardiomyopathy

It is demonstrated that MAP3K7 variants can cause apparently isolated DCM, expanding the phenotypic spectrum of MAP3K7-related disorders, and establishing an association between MAP3K7 loss of function variants and DCM.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is a Disease of Sarcomere Proteins

Overall, the genetic discoveries identify HCM as a disease of sarcomere proteins, which may reflect the oligogenic nature of HCM in a subset of cases, phenocopy conditions, including overdiagnosis of HCM, and the current approach to genetic screening.

The molecular landscape of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy across disease stages and genotypes.

Unsupervised and supervised machine learning approaches distinguished HCM from dilated cardiomyopathy and accurately predicted genotype status in early-stage HCM from cell type-resolved transcriptional profiles, revealing widespread genotype-driven remodeling.

Phenotype and outcome of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy MYH7 variants: A longitudinal cohort study.

Most patients with MYH7-related HCM presented with a benign phenotype over the long term, and the risks of AF, SCD, and worsening HF throughout life justify regular monitoring, and the need to look for particular genetic profiles that may potentially help tailored management strategies.
