MYBPC3 and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited cardiac condition, affecting at least ≈1:500 individuals.1 It is a genetically heterogeneous disorder, typically attributable to pathogenic variants in genes encoding cardiac sarcomere proteins, predominantly MYBPC3 and MYH7. 2 Truncating variants in MYBPC3 are a well-recognized cause of HCM, and the majority are considered to cause autosomal dominant disease with high age-related penetrance; consequently, such variants are extremely rare in the wider nondisease population.2
