Abstract The MYH7 gene, which encodes the beta-myosin heavy chain, is a critical component in the structural and functional integrity of cardiac and skeletal muscle cells. Variants in MYH7 are among the most common genetic causes of cardiomyopathies, particularly hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and have also been implicated in restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) and left ventricular hypertrabeculation (LVHT). This review explores the molecular mechanisms by which MYH7 variants lead to these diverse phenotypes, focusing on the genotype-phenotype correlations […]
