Epigenetic study of cohort of monozygotic twins with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy due to MYBPC3 (Cardiac Myosin-Binding Protein C)

[Background]: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is an autosomal dominant cardiac disease. The mechanisms that determine its variable expressivity are poorly understood. Epigenetics could play a crucial role in bridging the gap between genotype and phenotype by orchestrating the interplay between the envir...

Sumario:[Background]: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is an autosomal dominant cardiac disease. The mechanisms that determine its variable expressivity are poorly understood. Epigenetics could play a crucial role in bridging the gap between genotype and phenotype by orchestrating the interplay between the environment and the genome regulation. In this study we aimed to establish a possible correlation between the peripheral blood DNA methylation patterns and left ventricular hypertrophy severity in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, evaluating the potential impact of lifestyle variables and providing a biological context to the observed changes.
