Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in purpose-bred cats with the A31P mutation in cardiac myosin binding protein-C

SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 13(1).

By: J. Stern n, V. Rivas n, J. Kaplan*, Y. Ueda n, M. Oldach*, E. Ontiveros*, K. Kooiker*, S. Dijk*, S. Harris*

Contributors: J. Stern n, V. Rivas n, J. Kaplan*, Y. Ueda n, M. Oldach*, E. Ontiveros*, K. Kooiker*, S. Dijk*, S. Harris*

TL;DR: The occurrence of a more severe phenotype in later generations of cats, and the occasional occurrence of HCM in wildtype cats suggests the presence of at least one gene modifier or a second causal variant in this research colony that exacerbates the HCM phenotype when inherited in combination with the A31P mutation.
