From mice to men in modelling hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Speaker: Dr Christopher Toepfer, Harvard Medical School

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), the thickening of the myocardium afflicts 1 in 200 individuals. We define novel mechanisms that drive known pathogenic HCM in MYBPC3 and MYH7 and develop assays to test variants of unknown significance in HCM, using CRISPR Cas-9 genome engineering and iPSC-CM technologies
